A Decadent Amsterdam Stopover, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Amsterdam airport is about 30 minutes from the central station in the city, making it one of the best cities in Europe to enjoy a simple and fun stopover. There are a lot of things you can do on an Amsterdam stopover that鈥檚 at least 6 or 7 hours. Amsterdam has a lot of art, a lot of history, adorable sights, and you know, sex, drugs, and Heineken.

You can buy it loose or pre-rolled, pure or mixed with tobacco or even as an edible. It鈥檚 not a bad idea to have a coffee with it because you鈥檙e probably tired and you don鈥檛 want the weed to drain you of your energy.聽Coffeeshop Siberie聽is right next to the central station and is a reputable one. If you鈥檙e looking for something even fancier, try聽Boerejongens聽which looks like they鈥檇 sell high-end watches and jewelry if they weren鈥檛 slinging bud. ......
