Amsterdam
Amsterdam is noted for many outstanding museums, the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, Rembrandt House Museum, the Van Gogh Museum and its world-class symphony orchestra, the Concertgebouworkest. Anne Frank House is also a popular tourist attraction. Amsterdam is also famous for its red-light district, de Wallen. Prostitution is legal in the Netherlands at specific places. The red-light district is located in the center of the city along major canals and is clearly marked on maps. Centred around the Wallen, but also elsewhere in the city, coffee shops sell cannabis. This is not completely legal but is tolerated when small quantities of cannabis (up to 5 grams) are involved.
