Vondelpark Openluchttheater
Open air venue in the Vondel Park. What makes this place truly hip is the location in Amsterdam’s most beautiful park. Bleachers surround this tent-covered stage which offers a host of events – mostly Dutch for the locals. Sometimes the music is great, and you can enjoy a drink or snack from the vendors nearby. Free admission. Open summers only.
The Old Man
This shop on the Damstraat just off the Dam has a good selection of pipes, paraphernalia, guns, knives, sports wear and more. Once upon a time The Old Man had the best selection of pipes, but they’ve seemed to have much less these days.
The Old Indian
This is THE PLACE to look for a pipe. The Old Indian specializes in pipes and the place seems to have the largest selection in Holland, with every kind of pipe you can think of. I’ve spent hours trying to decide and the helpful staff will make your search easier.
They also carry a selection of cannabis books, seeds, clothes and the usual paraphernalia.
Athenaeum Boekhandel
This store stocks the best selection of international magazines and newspapers I’ve seen anywhere. I usually pickup my copy of Wired here, and review the computer mags, as well as the art and design magazines. Their bookstore next door stocks a choice selection too.
RAI
This is the big convention center in Amsterdam hosting trade shows, computer sales, art exhibitions, and much more. Located in the south side of Amsterdam, near the Amstel River.
Ahoy Rotterdam
This is the biggest venue in Holland, and most of the big name entertainment happens here.
