  • Review this attraction
  • 1. Absinthe

    DJs spin and you might too, after sampling theLa Fée Verte (The Green Fairy), the controversial wormwood-infused hallucinogenic this late-opening lounge bar takes its name from.

  • 2. Al’s Plaice

    Authentic British fish’n’chips, complete with tabloids and lashings of tomato ketchup and brown sauce.

  • 3. The American Book Center

    Seven floors of books, magazines, newspapers and computer games. There are also art exhibitions, lectures and writers’ workshops at the Treehouse annexe, a short walk away.

  • 4. De Bierkoning

    “The Beer King” in the shadow of the Dam’s Royal Palace has a fantastic range of beers – almost 1,000 of them – from all over the world.

  • 5. DOM-CK

    Hypertrendy fashion and interior shop from Germany, selling anything from moose scarves to retro bead curtains.

  • 6. P G C Hajenius

    Dutchman Hajenius fulfilled his 1826 pipe dream, and his store is now one of Europe’s most famous cigar houses. A must for all cigar connoisseurs, but worth a peek just for the art deco interior.

  • 7. Pied-á-Terre

    Spend an afternoon browsing the huge stock of travel guides and maps, while planning your next holiday or a short trip out of town.

  • 8. Puccini Bomboni

    A chocoholic’s paradise! Mouthwatering chocolates often with surprising fillings, such as nutmeg, lemongrass or pepper. Real junkies can also feast on big chunks of chocolate bars.

  • 9. De Still

    Around 600 whiskies (most of them rare malts) are served at this specialist bar, which also runs an annual whisky festival.

  • 10. Vrankrijk

    Pop into the recently legalized bar of the city’s most famous squat for a taste of Amsterdam’s legendary squatting movement.
