Okay controversial take: after a few weekends in both cities I'm leaning toward [Leiden](/netherlands/south-holland/leiden "10 Coffeeshops in Leiden Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") being nicer for coffeeshop hunting — smaller, friendlier staff, less of the 'scene' that floods [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo"). In Leiden I could walk into the shop, ask about a new batch and actually talk to the person behind the counter. Not saying Amsterdam is bad (obvious variety) but for a relaxed afternoon Leiden felt better. Curious if anyone else prefers the quieter towns (I was at the place in Leiden last Saturday). 0 [ 5](/it/forum/discussione-generale/leiden-coffeeshops-actually-better-than-amsterdam#comments "Commenti") **Condividi** ## Commenti Visualizzati 5 di 5 commenti L**Lorenzo**201 giorni fa Totally agree. [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo") is great for variety but [Leiden](/netherlands/south-holland/leiden "10 Coffeeshops in Leiden Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") has that local charm. Less tourists, more regulars and the staff remembers you. 0 Rispondi[Condividi](/it/forum/discussione-generale/leiden-coffeeshops-actually-better-than-amsterdam#reply-07be4f73-76b8-4ae5-8af9-f8f2d3ed4990 "Condividi") B**BernardoG2**200 giorni fa > @MaartenI2: "smaller, friendlier staff" Yep — that. Also prices in small towns can be a bit friendlier (not always), and you avoid the crowds by the [canals](/spain/valencia/canals "Cannabis Social Clubs near Canals, Valencia (2026) | Cannabivo"). Depends what you want: variety vs chill. 0 Rispondi[Condividi](/it/forum/discussione-generale/leiden-coffeeshops-actually-better-than-amsterdam#reply-18ef6eb3-66bd-41f9-8981-a05136e1a158 "Condividi") S**Sven**198 giorni fa Same experience here lol 0 Rispondi[Condividi](/it/forum/discussione-generale/leiden-coffeeshops-actually-better-than-amsterdam#reply-56f4d299-7e49-4392-b91b-dfb21e08df16 "Condividi") W**Werner**197 giorni fa Ich muss kurz ausholen: grew up near [Leiden](/netherlands/south-holland/leiden "10 Coffeeshops in Leiden Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo"), go back every now and then. [Amsterdam](/netherlands/north-holland/amsterdam "192 Coffeeshops in Amsterdam (2026) | Cannabivo") is unbeatable for sheer selection — new strains, imports, speciality shops — but the trade-off is the atmosphere. In Amsterdam you can feel rushed, queues, and explanations are often short because they're serving a constant flow. In Leiden staff will spend time explaining the batch, sometimes show how they stored it, recommend pairings. For a weekend where you actually want to try a few things and chat, Leiden wins. But for a one-off big variety day, Amsterdam still has the edge. 0 Rispondi[Condividi](/it/forum/discussione-generale/leiden-coffeeshops-actually-better-than-amsterdam#reply-6d7dd2be-ca49-4bcd-9f53-084c2e6e48b2 "Condividi") A**AurelioL3**195 giorni fa I’d add: some smaller towns have [coffeeshops](/coffeeshops "Dutch Coffeeshops — What They Are & How to Buy") run by people who actually care about flower, not just tourists. If you can get a local rec, you might find a hidden gem. Went to [Leiden](/netherlands/south-holland/leiden "10 Coffeeshops in Leiden Municipality (2026) | Cannabivo") on a weekday and it felt like a proper neighbourhood spot. 0 Rispondi[Condividi](/it/forum/discussione-generale/leiden-coffeeshops-actually-better-than-amsterdam#reply-f577d1d3-6bec-45f0-a491-7e57a27e417d "Condividi") ## Aggiungi un commento Pubblica commento ## Aggiungi un commento Accedi per partecipare alla discussione.
