The Bulldog, Amsterdam’s most famous coffee shops

The Bulldog No. 90 was the first Coffeeshop opened in Amsterdam among the canals of the red light district, the shutters were raised at the end of 1975, and for decades it has been the symbol of free cannabis consumption. The other establishments in the chain are the Bulldog Palace, the Rockshop, the Mack and the Energy.
