The coffee shops of Amsterdam that serve marijuana and various other cannabis products, such as the notorious space cake, have gained an almost legendary status among tourists.
Whether you are a connoisseur coming to the city to sample the strains or simply a curious tourist who wishes to try out something a little bit more exotic, finding your way around local coffee shops and making sure you observe the rules of this culture is essential to a trouble-free and pleasant experience. Also, you might want to consider the benefits of renting a cannabis-friendly vacation apartment during your stay, especially if you plan on bringing treats to your place.
Amsterdam has plenty of cafes serving drinks and food, so the only places which specialise in cannabis products are actually called coffee shops (written as one word in Dutch, i.e. coffeeshops) to distinguish them from ordinary cafes. There are several hundred coffee shops throughout the city, however, the majority are huddled in the historic centre of the city that is the scenic canal ring and there is quite a high concentration within the red light district. Coffee shops, unlike cafes, specialise exclusively in the serving of marijuana products.

While the city is world famous for its relaxed laws regarding recreational drugs, yet the city is anything but a hippie community of pot smokers. Cannabis consumption is legal only within certain limits and only when practised on the premises of a licensed coffee shop. Smoking marijuana in public outside of a coffee shop is illegal while roaming the streets when high is frowned upon. You will most likely not see people doing this in public and for your own health and safety, it is better to avoid doing this. Some bars and pubs allow smoking weed but you should always ask first.
So, how can you light up in Amsterdam outside of a coffee shop without compromising your safety or breaking the law? The ideal solution is to stay in cannabis-friendly accommodation. While there might be hotels and private rentals that ban smoking of both tobacco and cannabis, plenty of hosts cater exclusively to the needs and desires of guests who wish to indulge in this culture. Renting a cannabis-friendly apartment will allow you to sample local treats in a safe setting from the comfort of your very own holiday home.
Booking a cannabis apartment is an extremely convenient choice as you can simply stay close to lots of local attractions and cosy coffee shops.
