Amsterdam - Maastricht: Visit the coffeeshops?

Although the city of Amsterdam is actually the area where the highest concentration of coffee shops (close to 300, more than a third of Dutch coffeeshops), we recommend that you do not go there ...

Indeed, small coffees are good only attract tourists. Attractive decor, piped music and the temptation to taste the best grass in the world ... Everything is calculated to seduce you and get you to buy. But do not be surprised if we throw you out once your purchase made. It is not customary for the Dutch to settle in a coffeeshop to smoke grass freshly acquired. The Dutch smoke at home. Especially in Amsterdam, where cannabis clients is very important.

In addition, prices are at least pushing ... We regret a purchase soon in Amsterdam. The quality can vary widely from one coffeeshop to another and from one period to another ... It rarely falls on the grass to less than € 10.

Your journey will be much smaller interest in cities such as Maastricht, Rotterdam, The Hague (Den Haag), Groningen, ... The prices are definitely more interesting and quality far more often to visit.

If any time you wish to visit the beautiful city of Amsterdam, not for its coffeeshops, but still enjoy the weed there, we advise you not to go anywhere but in the center of coffees, with loads close to the half of the institutions of the city (about 150). Remember to take your troubles patiently as customers are very very sooooo many! As for the coffee in themselves, they are found in every corner, so no worries to do, which is indeed the only positive of the city in terms of our beloved little plant.
