Amsterdam

This address seems totally out of place - in fact, it's the temple of cigars! For over one hundred and seventy years, this illustrious house has been providing cigar aficionados with its flavored cigars, along with the framework and information that go with them. Naturally, the items are not cheap, to put it mildly. Even if you're allergic to smoke, come in and admire the magnificent, hushed setting with its dark wood panelling and Art Deco decor. This address is like a testimony to an almost bygone era. A must-see after the flower market.

Tertulia will change any preconceived ideas you may have about coffee-shops as creepy places of perdition. Tertulia is, in fact, a relaxed, natural coffee-shop, superbly housed in the corner of a building on the Prinsengracht. Outside, Van Gigh's paintings are reproduced on the walls, and inside, the decor is plant-based and relaxing. The clientele is mostly young, even students. The terrace is pleasant as soon as the sun comes out. A renowned address since its creation almost 40 years ago... Don't miss it!

Probably the city's best-known coffeeshop, where generations of tourists make a pilgrimage every time they visit. Located not far from the Place du Spui, in a pretty alleyway, it welcomes a varied public (many tourists, naturally) in a psychedelic decor (bright colors and rounded shapes). Wide choice and sound advice. A scene from the now vintage film Ocean's Twelve was even filmed here. Sometimes too crowded, but that's the price of success. On your way out, you'll be tempted by some excellent French fries.
