  • Even the liberal city that I live in does not compare to Amsterdam when it comes to drugs and prostitution. In Amsterdam, prostitution is legal. The prostitutes undergo regular medical checkups and pay taxes.

    Even if you’re not into this scene, a walk through the Red Light District is a must. The scantily clad ladies rent storefronts where they put themselves on display to attract their customers.

  • The Albert Cuyp Markt is an outdoor market that stretches for about a mile down the Albert Cuypstraat. Many locals come here to buy their daily groceries. It’s a great place for people watching.

     How lucky you are! Rijksmuseum was under construction when I was there. Useful page. Greetings from Istanbul.

     Just thought I'd let you know the Dutch Wikipedia claims the NEMO building looks like a boat by accident. It is built on the foundations of the tunnel underneath it and is the mirror image of the tunnels entrance

     Great photos and tips on Europe's sin city! I have a feeling the red light district is similar to the one in Antwerp. Great tip about the houseboats, that might be an interesting place to stay! Best, Paige
