Currently, Arnhem in The Netherlands is the Bitcoin Capital in the world.

If you want to be truly amazed by the amount of physical goods and IRL services you can pay for with Bitcoin, come and visit Arnhem in the The Netherlands (close to the German border, approximately 1 hour from Amsterdam).

There's all kinds of business accepting Bitcoin here: book stores, hairdressers, clothing stores, computer stores, car companies, bed & breakfast, a shoemaker, diving shop, massage salon, gift shop, dentist, bowling center, hotel, supermarket, bike shops, and loads of restaurants, bars, pubs, coffee shops and lunchrooms.

Arnhem has the highest concentration of Bitcoin-accepting merchants worldwide, making it the most Bitcoin-friendly city in the world (also according to this article). See also this report from someone spending a weekend here in Arnhem, living entirely on Bitcoin.

Seriously, if you want to experience how far Bitcoin mainstream acceptance has come already, visit Arnhem and you will be surprised.

Exactly! I really love how the people in Armheim bring bitcoin "down to the street". My next vacation with my gf is planed to take place in Arneim, just to experience and support bitcoin. I love Arnheim for doing this.

Wow, I never realized how much bitcoin is accepted there.. I live a stone throw away, will definitely check it out! Cheesy

Any stats on whether the shops keep the coins or directly transfer them to euros?
