18 CITY FEELGOOD
Amsterdam has long been known for its liberal stand on drugs and prostitution. But
thankfully the city has so much else to offer. You could hardly find a more friendly
or beautiful place in which to stroll around aimlessly, take in the atmosphere of
the past, do some shopping and visit outstanding art museums. Jón Kaldal and
photographer Páll Stefánsson enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.

Jennifer McCormack takes a look at the local talent.
