Amsterdam

Description:

Imagine walking into a coffee shop and buying marijuana with your cappuccino, or hunting for souvenirs and ending up in a sex shop. This can happen to you in Amsterdam. But cannabis and the Red Light District are only two of the eclectic experiences that the city has to offer. Romantic canals lined by 17th century architecture criss-cross the city, ad strolling around has the feel of visiting an open-air museum. Shop for tulips, bulbs and wooden shoes at the floating Flower Market. Soak up culture in the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frankhuis. Add a windmill, a canal boat cruise and a Heineken or three. If you are in need of some fresh air and exercise, rent a bike and really explore and see the city. Head to Vondelpark, Amsterdam’s largest city park and sit and enjoy the sights. The result is a city full of luscious ingredients and as tasty as the famous Dutch appelgebak or apple pie.
