Welcome to the real independent Amsterdam Coffeeshop guide. This site will provide you some information needed when visiting Amsterdam and planning to smoke your way around and do like so many others who come to Amsterdam only because of the coffeeshop. Cannabis is available at many places but is only sold to adults; ID is required.
Holland has a very liberal attitude towards coffeeshops and herbal's (smartshops). Although not al the members of the European Union agree, coffeeshops are still allowed in the Netherlands. A lot of tourists already found their way to Amsterdam.
Over 200 shops (new licenses are not issued) are waiting to serve their customers. Familiar names are the Bulldog or Greenhouse, but there are so many other coffeeshops. A little help might be welcome, but ordering softdrugs in a coffeeshop is just as normal as asking for a cup of tea. But because there are so many coffeeshops, some of the best are listed on this site. This is a listing of personal experience, no guarantee, however it might be a helpful guideline when you want to visit a special shop, or take a look at the Amsterdam HotSpots, some places you must visit while staying there.
