    When you gotta go, you gotta go and in Amsterdam, being a guy has its advantages. You'll see these public urinals on the street, so instead of yellowing up the canals, you can take care of your business right here, with all the world watching as you shake the dew off the lilly.

    The Dutch do care about people's health and the smell of the city. As they don't like men to go pee in a random place, they built the green "cages" around the city as a public toilet. However, as a woman, I feel it's rather unfair cos all these public toilets are for men only...where are we women supposed to go pee then? Hold it till home?

    The cleanest toilet around is at the Central Train Station at track 2A.

    It's 50 Eurocents admission, but worth while.

    if you're a bloke, and had a few and don't want to get too close to the edge of the canal in case you fall in mid-pee. Or even if you are another "colourful local" and need somewhere to get changed in a hurry!

    I've only ever seen these temporary toilets at music concerts, but in Amsterdam there are quite a few of them, mostly around the red-light district.

    I'm told that these urinals are placed in the streets on weekends and holidays. Lucky guys..ladies still need to duck into a cafe. These two guys were good sports and raised no objection to my camera. I guess they were busy.

    Their public urinals are interesting....they are not enclosed, so everyone sees you. They even have signs to the toilet, as you can see in this picture. I hope everyone doesn't start thinking I have a Porta-Potty fetish. This is the 2nd or 3rd pic dealing with one that i have published so far!

    Urinating: Public toilets

  • well its not really cultural as such but the one tip I would give is that you carry plenty small change as there are very few public toilets in Amsterdam and those that there are mostly charge (even in MacDonalds etc). It was usually about 20 or 25 cents..

    Also be very careful crossing roads in the city as its the bikes you really need to watch out for. They often don't stop at traffic lights and seem to rule the road over the cars and trams!

    Urinating: Public Pissoir etiquette

    Amsterdam has quite "interesting" streetscape with its open-air public pissoirs that cover only the parts that need to be covered, so while you're walking away, you may recognize your neighbor on the urge. Even in older writings on etiquette, it is a source of doubt whether you should greet him or not in such a situation.
