Coffeeshop or Coffee Shop is a unique Dutch institution.
Since 40 years, coffeeshops exist and have operated with quasi-legal status in the Netherlands.
  • Over 240 coffee-shops in Amsterdam sell cannabis and weed (maximum of 5 grams per person).
  • These are not to be confused with coffee shops that sell only cannabis seeds and coffee, and others that sell only food and coffee.
    • Coffee shops have existed since the mid 70 but Sarasani is the first coffeeshop ( 1968 Utrecht, closed since 2007 ).
    • Yellow Mellow ( Amsterdam 1972 ) but the first license was issued to The Rusland in 1996, one of the best in Amsterdam.
    • Each coffee shop is identified by a green and white sign.
    • They have a special menu for the varieties of cannabis and hash they carry.
    • Prices and quantities vary from shop to shop, and some offer much better deals than others.
    • On average, in Amsterdam, one gram sells for around 10.00 euros.
    • Be careful, rates go up easily in tourist areas and some weed can be very strong.
    • You must be at least 18 to enter a coffeeshop and they do check ID, so carry your passport.
    • Hours of business operation are set by law.
    • For coffeeshops it is usually 10 am to 1 am.
    • Some coffee shops are open from 7 am to 22 pm or 1 am ( Hunter's).
    • You can walk with one once ( 28 grs ) without any problem.
    • Coffeeshop Central is closest Airport Schiphol ( 15 mn by train ).
    • You can buy 5 grs ( 0,17 oz ) per person and max 2 times by one day.
    • Walk from my hotel to my favorite coffee shop or vice versa.

    • Kalverstraat, one of the most familiar street in Holland, has existed for more than 600 wonderful gifts and delicacies, as well as typical neighbourhood stores.
    • In the past this was a place where cows were sold. That is why the name of the street is ‘Kalverstraat’, which means ’street of the calves’.
    • The fashion parade that begins on Kalvertraat continues around the corner, across Koningsplein and along Leidsestraat ( venue for the Floatting Flower Market ).

    • For a mainly Sativa strain of weed (Silver Haze, New York Diesel, etc) you will probably need to pay between 10-12 € per gram.
    • For a simple (Afghan, Maroc, Nepal) hash you will pay about 6-7 € per gram, but prices get really silly for some of the ice hash, we've seen it for 20 €+ per gram.
