Amsterdam Sights
An old city of tree-lined canals, cobbled streets, and gabled 17th Century houses,
Amsterdam is magnificently beautiful and one of Europe's cultural treasures.

The city's famous coffee houses can be found virtually everywhere. Each has a unique ambience and style,
with some serving liquor, others food, and still others only coffee, tea and soft drinks. All have a
variety of marijuana available for purchase from a menu and offer a comfortable setting and the necessary
paraphernalia to enjoy it openly. The city's so-called smart shops take the coffee-shop idea one step
further, selling 'natural' psychedelics and stimulants, from mushrooms to herbal ecstasy to Red Bull.
Of course, no visit to Amsterdam would be complete without a night-time visit to the famous Red Light
District. One of the oldest and most beautiful parts of the city, the narrow, cobbled streets of this
quarter fill with hordes of tourists on weekends and holidays. All come to gawk at the surreal display of
scantily clad women who pose in the purply-red glow of their black-lit shop windows. Not unlike a bizarre
zoo, the Red Light District is an unmissable experience, as attested by the packs of roving young men,
couples holding hands, groups of women, and busloads of Japanese tourists toting cameras.
Spectacle notwithstanding, real business is done here at a steady pace, and those seeking a slightly more
authentic experience should head for the area on a weeknight.
