BootsnAll: 9 European Attractions To Miss (PHOTOS)

Quite a different "attraction" from all the others on this list, Amsterdam is known as a city where anything goes, and in many ways it actually lives up to that reputation. You can still buy and smoke weed at any one of about 150 'coffeeshops' throughout this gorgeous city, and you can still gawk at the flirtatious working girls behind the red-lit windows in the Red Light District. And according to what your buddy told you, you can also pay to go into a theater to watch a real couple doing it right in front of your popped-out eyes.

Stroll on up to one of the three similar theaters in Amsterdam that feature this form of 'erotic' entertainment, and you'll first have to deal with a multi-lingual doorman who's spent years learning how to get every last euro out of every last passerby. You'll pay at least ?30 per person for the treat of being seated in a club or theater where you'll watch a sideshow-style series of demonstrations, the most famous of which involves a banana.

You do eventually get to see a couple having actual sex on the stage, and people typically describe live sex shows as: mechanical, bizarre, overly choreographed, and/or boring. The one exception might be the many stag parties that come here, because that sort of alcohol-fueled mayhem can really turn into a great and hilarious bonding experience with enough wasted guys in the right frame of mind, and you won't remember it anyway.
