Amsterdam Off The Beaten Path
 Sort by: Most Recent | Best Rated | Author's Order

Coffeeshops: Haarlem
  • Tip Rating:
  • Haarlem, just a short train ride away, quaintly beautiful little town, that most people overlook when traveling to Holland. Full of restuarants, shopping, and cultural history, Haarlem is well worth a day trip, or two.

    This is my location of choice for accommodation, mainly because of the more laid back atmosphere and it is cheaper!

    Nol in front of the former location of Willie Wortel Workshp. Now newly renamed Willie Wortel Sinsemilla Coffeeshop and relocated to the Houtplien, with all the same neon signs

  • Also the best coffeeshops are in Haarlem, the three Willie Wortel's Coffeeshops owned by Nol are the one's to go to. Great prices, great weed, great people!
    Here is Marcel, manager of the Sinsemilla, showing his stuff. He is very proud of all his merchandise!

  • Right at the Haarlem station, the Sativa is the most convenient coffeeshop to hit after getting off the train. This place stays very busy due to the location, so don't be surprised to see a line out the door!!
    As the name indicates, they specialize in sativa strains so you can find the authentic Thai Sticks here.

  • Near the Grote Market, the Indica coffeeshop has a great view of the beautiful windmill in town. It is also right on a canal which makes it very gazellig.

    Coffeeshops: Global Hemp Museum
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Global Hemp Museum in Haarlem is a very nice and interesting place with all the information available on the wonderful cannabis plant. There is even a few plants growing inside and although they don't sell weed or hash you can certainly smoke your own while visiting the museum if you like.

  • Tip Rating:
  • The North Sea. When the weather is warm there are hundreds of bars and restuarants along the beach, not to mention lots and lots of people. And some in their birthday suits!

    Coffeeshops: Yanks in Zandvoort
  • Tip Rating:
  • Amsterdam Coffeeshops
  • Yanks Coffeeshop, Zandvoort
  • by BlueBerry_7
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Yanks is a very nice and spacious coffeeshop. There is a gameroom, downstairs and lots of additional tables upstairs. On the ground floor the tables have teepees over them which is real cool, the whole place is an Indian theme. Also there is a bar area where they serve alcohol and lots of outside tables which is nice to enjoy, weather permitting of course.

    Off The Beaten Path: Holland Casino
  • Tip Rating:
  • Located right on the beach in Zandvoort, the Holland Casino is the place to be if you like gambling.

    This is one of only 10 legal casinos in Holland, with roulette, blackjack, and more. The dress code here is "correct" (collar and tie for men), and the minimum age is 18. You'll need your passport to get in. Casino Zandvoort opens daily from 1:30pm to 2am. Entry costs Dfl 6 ($3).
