Be alert for pickpockets who usually victimize tourists with lots of baggage. They usually frequent the train from Schiphol International Airport to the city, or ATMs.
Amsterdam has been known to be a very tolerant city, especially when it comes to selling and consuming cannabis products. Only licensed coffeeshops are permitted to sell cannabis products. Do not confuse coffeeshops with ‘koffiehuis' (coffee house), which sells only coffee and light meals, or with café, which is a casual restaurant or bar.
Greet assistants upon entering or leaving shops. The Dutch consider it rude to just wander in and out.
Drinking alcohol on the streets is against the law. Do not walk on the bike lanes.
Rent a bike and ride around the city. Biking is a great way to see and get around the city. Do not ride your bike at night without lights to avoid being fined.
