Top 10 Best of the Rest

  • Are these details incorrect?
  • 1. Condomerie

    A huge, hilarious range of (mostly) novelty condoms guaranteed to spice up the most jaded of love lives.

  • 2. Fo Kuang Shan Temple

    This nun-run Chinese Buddhist temple takes pride of place on this otherwise junkie-riddled street. Take a respectful peek one afternoon (you can keep your shoes on), or dine at their adjacent vegetarian restaurant.

  • 3. Himalaya

    A veggie café at the back of this new age bookstore overlooking the water is a fantastic find in this hectically touristy area. Chill out, Zen-style.

  • 4. Jacob Hooy & Co

    Established in 1743, this chemist’s store is simply the best place in town to pick up herbs, homeopathic remedies, tea and essential oils.

  • 5. Joe’s Vliegerwinkel

    Colourful kites, quirky knick-knacks and kitsch bits for that perfect present to suit all ages.

  • 6. Latei

    A delightful café cum bric-a-brac store specializing in olive oil and Finnish wallpaper. Ideal for a light sandwich, fresh juice and decent-sized coffees. Everything is for sale.

  • 7. Beestenwinkel

    Toys, gadgets and games with an animal theme. From squirting fish to cuddly bars and rubber ducks that glow in the bath.

  • 8. Capsicum Natuurstoffen

    This store sells a huge range of gorgeous printed and embroidered silks, linens and cottons, imported from all over the world.

  • 9. Tibet

    Quite a find in the seedy surrounds of the Red Light District, this restaurant serves food until 1am. A mind-blowing menu that won’t break the bank.

  • 10. De Zuiderkerk

    Built 1603–11 by Hendrick de Keyser, painted by Monet in 1874. Climb to the top for great views.
