A Cannabis Day In Amsterdam

Welcome to Amsterdam—Europe’s cannabis capital and the perfect place to explore all things green. As the Cannabis Museum Amsterdam, we’re here to guide you through a day dedicated to cannabis culture, local vibes, and unforgettable experiences. From iconic coffeeshops to scenic canalside strolls (with snacks, of course), and a deep dive into the rich history of cannabis right here at our museum, here’s your ideal itinerary for the ultimate Cannabis Day in Amsterdam.

Morning: Wake & Bake at a Legendary Coffeeshop

Start your day right at Coffeeshop Tweede Kamer, one of the oldest and most respected spots in the city. Known for its relaxed vibe and premium strains, it’s a favourite among locals and seasoned visitors alike. Not too overwhelming for first-timers, but still the real deal.

Top tip: Ask the budtenders for something mellow to begin your day—like a nice sativa for energy and clarity.

If you’re staying nearby, Coffeeshop Grey Area is another top choice. Its legendary reputation attracts cannabis connoisseurs from around the world

Mid-Morning Munchies: Coffee & Stroopwafels

After your smoke session, stroll over to Van Wonderen Stroopwafels on Kalverstraat. These warm, gooey Dutch caramel cookies are an absolute must. Pair one with a strong local coffee and you’re set.

If you’re feeling fancy, pop into Café de Klos for an early smoked meat platter (yes, they open early, and yes, you’ll crave it).

Late Morning: Step Inside the Cannabis Museum Amsterdam

Now that you’re fully in the vibe, it’s time to explore the Cannabis Museum Amsterdam—just a short walk from Dam Square.

Here at the museum, we offer an immersive journey through the fascinating world of cannabis and hemp. Discover the plant’s ancient roots, its cultural and spiritual significance, and its evolution into a symbol of activism and innovation. From historical artefacts to modern insights, you’ll see how cannabis has shaped societies—and how it continues to thrive in Amsterdam’s unique landscape.

Before you go, don’t forget to stop by our museum shop. We’ve curated a collection of high-quality hemp products, cannabis-inspired gifts, and souvenirs you won’t find anywhere else.

Afternoon: Chill on a Cannabis-Friendly Canal Cruise

It’s not a trip to Amsterdam without floating through the canals—and yes, there are weed-friendly canal cruises!

Book a ride with a private smoke-friendly boat tour like Smokeboat Amsterdam. You can enjoy your cannabis while gliding past historic buildings, charming bridges, and the iconic canals that make Amsterdam so magical.

On a sunny day, this might be the most relaxing high of your life.

Late Afternoon Bites: Satisfy the Munchies

You’ve floated, smoked, and learned—now it’s time to eat. Amsterdam’s food scene is wildly underrated, especially when the munchies hit.

FEBO – The famous Dutch snack wall! Grab krokets, frikandellen, and other hot snacks from behind glass doors. It’s fast, fun, and surprisingly good.
Vleminckx Sausmeesters – Try their famous Vlaamse frites with dozens of sauce options.
The Bulldog Palace Lounge Bar – Chill spot for a casual bite and another joint if you’re still rolling (pun intended).

Evening: Sunset Smoke & City Stroll

As the sun sets, wander through Jordaan or De Pijp. These charming neighbourhoods are full of indie shops, chill bars, and scenic photo ops.

If you’re still in the mood to smoke, stop at Barney’s Coffeeshop, a sleek lounge with top-shelf strains and a nice evening vibe.

Optional: Nightcap or Nightlife?

Still got energy? You can wind down with a peaceful night stroll along the canals or check out Melkweg or Paradiso—two legendary music venues that often have great gigs and DJ sets.

If you’re staying in, grab some edibles or CBD drinks from a reputable shop and cosy up in your hotel with some Dutch Netflix (yes, there are stoner comedies with subtitles).

A Day to Remember

Amsterdam is so much more than just smoking weed—though it certainly does that well. This city blends cannabis culture with art, history, food, and chill energy like nowhere else on Earth. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or just curious, a weed-themed day in Amsterdam is a unique, unforgettable experience.

Please remember to be respectful, know your limits, and enjoy the ride!
