Description

Begin by traveling back to the 1970s, when cannabis culture first began to emerge into the open. Learn how early coffeeshops operated in a legal gray area, how policies were shaped, and how a quiet revolution transformed the city into what it is today.

Move into the 1980s and 1990s, considered the golden era of coffeeshops. Hear how the scene expanded rapidly, attracting travelers, creatives, and free spirits from around the world. Discover how coffeeshops developed their identities, menus evolved, and the culture became deeply embedded in Amsterdam’s DNA.

Fast forward to the modern era, where regulation, tourism, and innovation have reshaped the coffeeshop experience. Understand the key differences between old-school spots and new-generation concepts, from product quality and atmosphere to rules and customer experience.

As you walk through some of Amsterdam’s most beautiful and lesser-known streets, discover hidden gems that even many locals don’t fully appreciate. Think quiet canals, aesthetic corners, and secret photo spots perfect for capturing unforgettable moments.

Along the way, be introduced to the best munchies spots in the city—from late-night bites to local favorites that perfectly complement the experience. Whether you’re craving something sweet, savory, or iconic Dutch snacks, you’ll be covered.

To make your experience even better, receive access to an exclusive digital map, featuring all the best coffeeshops, munchies locations, and photo spots—so you can continue exploring even after the tour ends.
