Those looking for a pharmacy should keep their eyes out for an apotheek sign. Most are open Monday through Friday 8:30am-5:30pm and sell toiletries, first-aid supplies, and condoms in addition to filling prescriptions. The city’s two major chains are Nassau Apotheek and Da Apotheek. While no single dedicated 24hr. pharmacy exists in the city, the 24hr. Afdeling Inlichtingen Apotheken hotline (☎694 8709) will direct you to the nearest pharmacy.
Internet access is fairly abundant in Amsterdam, but spacious Internet cafes are hard to come by. Most Internet access can be found in the city’s numerous coffee shops. The following all have more than five computers and are sure to meet your needs, whether you’re a gamer or a scholar.
Post offices are generally open Monday through Friday 9am-5pm and sometimes Saturday 10am-1:30pm. Larger branches may stay open later. Post offices can be recognized by their red-and-blue signs and often house a postbank where you can exchange currency. For further info, call the information hotline (☎0800 0417).
