We spent a lovely day in Amsterdam walking round seeing the sights, getting lost seeing more sights, amazing how many sights we saw in a day. I enjoyed it tho we didnt spend time in cafes as aware of the wacky baccy also avoided the red light [no interest to see my own sex

Must say that when I was in Amsterdam I hardly saw any evidence of those types of cafes. I knew they were there, but found it no problem to avoid them.
Like others have said, I found Amsterdam a great place to visit, with loads to see and some really unusual architecture. Highly recommend it for a short city break.

Among the list of "50 things to do before you die", is not spending a weekend in an Amsterdam prison one of them? Or is it a weekend in a Mexican prison and a weekend in an Amsterdam house of ill repute? Or is it a Nigerian brothel? I do know that seeing Accy stanley play is on that list, somewhere. Once you've done so many, you start to get confused.

LOL & a lot of chained up cycles - never seen so many cycles in my life
quite a commodity there for them tho.
im with you on that tin monkey, we spent 2 days in amsterdam and we only seen one of those type of cafe's, lots of pubs too spend your time in and lots to see do and get lost around ( cant say how many times we ended up in china town ), along with the ding ding of the bikes, i almost got run over a few times, fantastic place and i would go back
the bikes want chaining cyclists are loonys lolLOL & a lot of chained up cycles - never seen so many cycles in my life
I think the tourists guides in Amsterdam are more likely to tell you where the cafes are than not. It's part of the tourist trade

Well if you know which ones they are then you then know not to go inside!
It's one of the reasons some people go there isn't it?
Yes it is Willow. Although I don't partake myself the Dutch government have a policy of allowing adults to make up their minds, unlike here where we are told when to breathe in and out
Which is the reason why the original poster didn't go in
Ah it made him/her sound like they went in when they said it was 'chocka with weed smoke'. One would assume you'd have to go in to know that kind of thing. After all, I assume weed smoke looks very similar to normal tobacco smoke.
I was 13 when i went to amsterdam with the school and they took us in the coach for a day out - coach driver drove round for about an hour looking for somewhere to drop us off to explore, anyway he gave up and said this is ok for dropping you off room for the coach to park up ....... bang in the middle of the red light district!!! lol The teachers cracked up laughing when they realised where we was and wouldnt let us off the coach, coach driver was embarrassed didnt know where to look..... anyway he dropped us off elsewhere and eventually most of us found our way back into the red light district anyway. Havent been back since tho.
