The Old Centre District of Amsterdam

The Old Centre District is the most visited spot in Amsterdam by tourists. It is known for its traditional architecture, canals, shopping and many coffeeshops (and interesting shop too, ahem). Earlier on, we just visited Dam Square (which I suppose is kinda like the centre of the city centre?). From Dam Square, we are taking few steps further to explore the old centre district of Amsterdam.

Nothing beats the smell of a baked croissant in the morning. *sniff* *sniff*

The city looks serene and quiet in the morning. It seems that the locals had just had a wild night the night before. After all, it is Saturday morning.

By the way, do you know that Amsterdam has a lot of canals? In fact, its three 17th-century canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht were placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010. Thanks to that, Amsterdam is also known as the "Venice of the North".

Passing by the canal, we spotted a pretty interesting shop. What does the shop sell, we wonder?

Oh boy, let's just say the shop is selling "grass". And, what's with the autoflowering thing??? Oh if you are a fan of smoking "grass", it is considered legal in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam seems to be a very interesting city indeed.
