The church in the attic I can't spell or pronounce the dutch name, but it is a great little museum right in the red light district that shows the Dutch tolerance that they were famous for before weed pass.

It's called Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder (our Lord in the Attic)and yes it's very cool. A tiny catholic church hidden inside a canal house. When I saw it in 2011 it was being renovated, but still worth a visit regardless

i'd add albert cuypmaarkt for presents/fruit juice/etc shopping, with a crawl to club media and katsu, and some righteous vlaams frites and/or falafel at sonny's (across the street from Katsu). he has some good sauces for the fries as well!

Posted on the August Whos In Town page.

Don't spend your entire chocolate budget at Puccini's, Give Jordino's a try.

http://jordino.nl/

Voyagers has a smoking boat ride available with a little forewarning.


Enjoy
