Whether it is about the Red Light district or the famous coffee shops which are not about coffee, then this article will give you some insight.&lt;p&gt;As you read this article, you will discover more about:&lt;br&gt;* There&amp;#39;s more To Amsterdam Than The Red Light District And Coffee Shops&lt;br&gt;* About Cannabis And Coffee Shops In Amsterdam&lt;br&gt;* About The Red Light District&lt;p&gt;* There&amp;#39;s more To Amsterdam Than The Red Light District And Coffee Shops&lt;br&gt;Amsterdam is a very open kind of a place than your would imagine from other conservative places in the world. It is true that Amsterdam is more open and free than other countries. For example with the acceptance of prostitution in the Red Light District and the infamous coffee shops around Amsterdam.&lt;p&gt;The Netherlands is a place which offers some great sights. One of the key features you will see is all the canals that seem to go through most of the city. This makes Amsterdam a great place to visit, if you love walking and seeing the sights.&lt;p&gt;There are also several great museums in Amsterdam, such as the Van Goth museum, and Ann Franks house where she wrote her famous diary. As such, Amsterdam is not just about coffee shops and the Red Light district.&lt;p&gt;* About Cannabis And Coffee Shops In Amsterdam&lt;br&gt;- What is a coffee shop?&lt;br&gt;In Amsterdam, the word coffee shop has come to mean a place that sells Hash or marijuana.&lt;p&gt;- How many coffee shops are there in Amsterdam?&lt;br&gt;Around Amsterdam is an estimated 300 coffee shops. Because Amsterdam is a small area, you are bound to find a coffee shop on nearly every street.&lt;p&gt;- How do you know you have found a coffee shop?&lt;br&gt;Licensed coffee shops are clearly identifiable by the green and white sign at the door. Though generally the name of the coffee shop will make it obvious that it is a coffee shop.&lt;p&gt;- How long has marijuana been legal in the Netherlands?&lt;br&gt;The Netherlands decriminalized cannabis use since 1976. This applies to possessions of personal use cannabis of 5 grams or less. If you have more on you, then realize that it is still punishable. The coffee shops however, won&amp;#39;t sell you more than this amount in one transaction.&lt;p&gt;* About The Red Light District&lt;br&gt;- Is prostitution legal in the Netherlands?&lt;br&gt;It is true; prostitution is legal in the Netherlands. There is even a statue that says - &amp;#39;respect sex workers all over the world&amp;#39;.&lt;p&gt;- How do I find the Red Light District?&lt;br&gt;The Red Light District is in the old part of Amsterdam, and covers several blocks south of the Oude Kerk church.&lt;p&gt;- Tell me about window shopping!&lt;br&gt;The ladies who work generally can be found in over 300 small one room cabins. Window shopping is the term because when available the women will stand at the window allowing men to window shop.&lt;p&gt;- Is there anything else I need to know?&lt;br&gt;Yes. Realize that a lot of the women who are offering sex services are people who may have been forced into prostitution, and that they may be human trafficked people. Unfortunate but true.&lt;p&gt;====================================================================&lt;br&gt;Author Biography:&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Before visiting Amsterdam, visit the &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.thingstodoinamsterdam.org/category/amsterdam-guide"&gt;http://www.thingstodoinamsterdam.org/category/amsterdam-guide&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Amsterdam guide&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; and learn about &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.thingstodoinamsterdam.org"&gt;http://www.thingstodoinamsterdam.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;things to do in Amsterdam&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href="http://www.thingstodoinamsterdam.org/category/uncategorized"&gt;http://www.thingstodoinamsterdam.org/category/uncategorized&lt;/a&gt;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;find hotels in Amsterdam&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;p&gt;====================================================================&lt;p&gt;*** Digital Reprint Rights ***&lt;p&gt;* You are not allowed to change anything in Article Content and Author Biography except the format for displaying the article properly.&lt;p&gt;* You are allowed to use this article for free as long as it will not violate any laws.&lt;p&gt;* I will appreciate it if you can notify me the publication of this article.
