I remember some cities in the [Netherlands](/netherlands "673 Coffeeshops in the Netherlands (2026)") have the ingezetenencriterium, but is Amsterdam still tourist-friendly? Also, any tips on quieter times to go (weekdays vs weekends)? I might swing by the club in Amsterdam listed here but don't want surprises. 0 [ 6](/forum/general-discussion/quick-question-about-coffeeshops-in-amsterdam#comments "Comments") **Share** ## Comments Showing 6 of 6 comments E**Emma98**151 days ago You can usually walk in with a passport in [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "193 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026)"), most coffeeshops accept tourists. Avoid the very center around Dam on weekends if you want quiet. Early afternoons on weekdays are chill. Some towns (smaller ones) enforce residency, but Amsterdam and Rotterdam are fine. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/general-discussion/quick-question-about-coffeeshops-in-amsterdam#reply-ab702619-0606-4c9a-b5da-6fd2c4dae738 "Share") A**Anonymous**135 days ago 6456666666666666666666666 0 Reply[Share](/forum/general-discussion/quick-question-about-coffeeshops-in-amsterdam#reply-88b0584d-048f-4644-aa60-d6c588cb2ba9 "Share") A**Anonymous**135 days ago fefwe 0 Reply[Share](/forum/general-discussion/quick-question-about-coffeeshops-in-amsterdam#reply-ed358723-3977-43c9-aafc-732f548ee25d "Share") A**Anonymous**135 days ago fwewfeewfweefwefefef 0 Reply[Share](/forum/general-discussion/quick-question-about-coffeeshops-in-amsterdam#reply-5eddae02-29b0-4135-83b1-2d12867ddd7b "Share") H**Hedzer**150 days ago > @Charlotte: "can tourists just walk into a coffeeshop" — ja, in [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "193 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026)") meestal wel, maar let op posters bij de deur. Sommige plekken vragen extra ID checks als er grote evenementen zijn. Voor rust: doordeweeks middag is usually best. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/general-discussion/quick-question-about-coffeeshops-in-amsterdam#reply-0f5ca25b-df47-4950-bb75-6c63d31f5749 "Share") D**David**150 days ago Agree with the others — [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "193 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026)") is fine for tourists. If you want a quieter, more local vibe try places slightly off the tourist loop (ask locals or the shop staff for recommendations). Evenings on weekdays can be pleasant too. 0 Reply[Share](/forum/general-discussion/quick-question-about-coffeeshops-in-amsterdam#reply-ae06e597-f1c4-495e-8cf2-0d013b147a95 "Share") ## Add a comment Post comment ## Add a comment Sign in to join the discussion.
