“Citing several sources, One More Thing says that Apple has leased the ground floor and mezzanine of the Hirsch Building, found at Leidseplein 29,” MacNN reports. “In August of last year Apple is reported to have leased upper-floor offices for local operations; the ground floor recently went vacant, however, and was filled only by a temporary art exhibit.”
MacNN reports, “The building is said to date back to 1909.”
More info, including interior and exterior photos of the building, in the full article here.

Hopefully the second Dutch Apple Store will open in The Hague, the most beautiful city in The Netherlands!
Yes! Finally…!
(well, it’s a two hour drive, but you can’t have everything)

Puff, puff, pass the iPad?
The first time I set foot in Amsterdam was right at that place. Looks like I’m gonna go back there again.
@ MacDave,
It is rumored that the Genius Bar will be replaced with a hash bar.
It is about time ! Apple should have been there years ago.
Apple is also building a store in the beautiful city of Bologna, Italy. The Medevil city is home to what might be the world’s oldest university, arguably the best food in Italy, and a little automobile maker by the name of Lamborghini. I can only imagine what beautiful store will result.
Overheard at the new Apple store..
Don’t bogart that iPad my friend,
Pass it over the meeeeee…..
It’s medieval, Brian
Crap…clearly I have had too many visits to the coffee shops in Amsterdam…I meant…Pass it over TO meeee…
Hmmm, wonder what the clients will eat when they get the munchies in the store?
Mmmmm… sounds like a pie.
Let’s hope it won’t crumble.
@ron
Tart!
Will Apple unveil the new iRudder at the opening?
I wonder if it will ever be possible to mention Amsterdam without (mostly) Americans immediately launching into marijuana jokes… If you give yourself a chance to completely ignore the marijuana angle (a fairly easy task, as this is clearly NOT even by a long stretch a major industry in the city), you’ll discover an incredibly beautiful and rich city. Quite unique in may ways.
As for the most beautiful city in the Netherlands, Den Haag (or ‘s-Gravenhage, as it is properly spelt) is surely nice and lovely, but Delft takes the cake, by a long shot. Just delightful…
Yes you are doing everything right. No, she won’t need any flee repellent or vaccinations/injections. And she won’t need bathing, rabbits are very nice clean animals and they will keep themselves nice and clean….

Now that’s really good news for all of
Us in Holland. Can’t wait till it opens.
Predrag,
I totally agree with your comments regarding Amsterdam. However, the Coffeshop Bulldog is located directly across the street from the new Apple store at 29 Leidesplein.
I have fond memories have whiling away the smoke filled hours at The Coffeshop Bulldog
Leidseplein 17 Amsterdam.
Just sayin’.. (^_^)

Wow, just thinking of the place makes me feel high!
@iWill
Yup there were never any lows in AMsterdam…
@ Buster,
Yeah, I can see it now: rolling out of The Coffeshop Bulldog, goggle-eyed, crossing the Leidesplein to the Apple Store in the Hirsch Building, all the while avoiding the trams and bicycles.
Ah, Amsterdam. A city built on a human scale. I pine for my return..
