Once it was the central local market, nowadays it’s a tourist hotspot. But still enjoyable. And this is the place to buy your cheese or eat your raw fish. Do not, really not , buy cheese in one of the hundred cheese shops in the center. They only sell cheese for high prices made in big factories. On the market you buy traditional good tasting Dutch cheese.

This is the oldest coffeeshop in Amsterdam. Your host is a Beerman, but if you are more in for a joint, visit this place. It’ s located near the Business School campus. Nice to stroll around there. The studentsrestaurant over the canal is a nice place. It has only one electricity contact. My advise 10 years ago (-;

Buy your cheese on the market

So many cheese shops in the centre. But it's bad factory cheese. Buy your cheese on the local markets or directly from far.
