Things to Note

If you visit the Red Light district as a tourist, try not to stare. New rules are being put in place to prevent crowds and visitors are asked to respect the workers.

Cafés are where coffee is served, and “coffee shops” is where cannabis products are sold.

  • Foods to Try
    • Cheese
    • Stroopwafels (caramel wafers, often served with coffee)
    • Bitterballen (a fried ball stuffed with meats)
    • herring
  • Top 3 Must-See Spots
    • Anne Frank House
    • Zaanse Schan (windmills)
    • Keukenhof (tulips)

Tipping Guide

Gratuities are not expected, but round up for good service at cafés and bars.
