  • I bought bottled water from the supermarket and it cost me 0.46Euros. When I was thirsty neat Damrak, I went to a shop along Damrak to buy a bottle of water. There's no price tag of the products in that shop manned by an Indian or Pakistani fellow. When I got one, same brand which I have got before to pay, to my surprise, he gonna charge me 2.50 Euros. I would say that is daylight robbery. That is 5 times more that I have paid in a supermarket ! I haven't imagined prices can be that high. If it's doubled I will reconsider, but 5 times certainly not considered.

    At Least Do This: I am not a very shy person, so I said I dun wan to buy already and put it back and did not buy anything from that shop.
    Alternative: Go to the big supermarket to buy bottled water.

     Very helpful tips for those visiting Amsterdam. However you do not seem to have visited any of the actual attractions of this city.

     Not much interesting architecture in Amsterdam? I don't understand your idea of architecture.
