For the Hippster within You
Amsterdam, the Sin City of Europe, is
a place full of bohemian vibes, coffee-shops and sex. It is hard to avoid the temptation
of the Red Light District where women sell themselves to the top buyer (it’s an
odd experience that you both want to/yet don’t want to see) or the Sex Museum,
all awhile to the faint smell of marijuana rolling gently along the sea breeze,
giving a weird tangy smelling backdrop to your visit. The only contrast to
these tourist traps of Amsterdam is the magnificent Van Gogh Museum or a look
back into history at Anne Frank’s House. However, if you feel like you don’t want
to do the ‘typical’ tourist thing (even though I do recommend you try and do at
least one or two, it may be filled with tourists but it all contributes to the
character of the city) and museums seem too boring/depressing/same-same then
this is the guide for you. I will tell you about some of the quirky and bizarre
experiences that Amsterdam has to offer in order to make your trip
unforgettable. You can then walk the typical tourist path (check our complete guide to Amsterdam here!) whilst making a
slight de-tour into the unknown. Read on and be prepared to get inspired!
