It's the coolest city on the continent, with coffeeshops where you can order your favorite strain of marijuana, "brown cafés" where you can be as Dutch as they come, hole-in-the-wall galleries and art museums where you can see Flemish art, a red-light district where you can see girls in red-lit window brothels, and canals that you can cruise down or bike alongside, lined with fabulous old buildings from the Dutch Golden Age.
