Amsterdam, The Netherlands: New Tourist Shops Verboden


One of the world’s favorite cities of your travel4seniors.com editor is clamping down on a favorite activity. Whenever there to wander the streets, especially at holiday season, we enjoy shopping for the latest home-grown Dutch souvenirs.

So, next time in Amsterdam, you’ll just have to be content to visit the oldest established permanent tourist bordellos and pot shops.
