Amnesia
The first thing to be said about this coffeeshop is that it's part of a chain which has received many Cannabis Cup Awards and therefore should be on the map for any connoisseur.

Grasshopper
This grand establishment is a one-stop shop for food, drink and smoke. It's close enough to the station for a one-hour stopover or you could even just grab a beer, a steak and a joint without even leaving the premises.

Greenhouse Centrum
Part of one of the best coffeeshop chains, this establishment in a busy part of the city centre is quite busy itself and with good reason! The outside seating area next to the canal away from the main drag is an ideal spot for smoking on a sunny day.

Lion of Judah
Beware! If you can't relate to the Rastafarian way of life, you may not enjoy this coffeeshop. If, however, you'd like to embrace your inner Marley, then by all means pay a visit to Lion of Judah.
