Coffeeshops in Amsterdam
The Netherlands are famous the world over for their tolerant behaviour regarding soft drugs. This attracts many (young) tourists, who flock to Amsterdam to smoke hashish. As such, many coffeeshops can be found in the Dutch capital. Most of them offer an ample menu of different plant species.
There is even a museum in Amsterdam, which offers a lot of background information about soft drugs: The Hash, Marijuana and Hemp Museum.
The minimum age for someone to visit a coffeeshop is 18. So bring your ID, as there is a chance that you will need it.
Apart from the stuff for smokers, most coffeeshops offer a few extras such as breakfast, board games or internet facilities. These extras are listed below per shop:
