  • review
  • user reviews (3)

Party Earth Review A spiritual, earthy, and mildly psychedelic motif distinguishes Abraxas from other coffeeshops, and the interior of this three-story 17th-century building is one of the most beautiful in town. Hand-carved wood, incredible paintings of the night sky, and finely crafted colorful mosaics offer plenty of visual stimulation ... more

A quick 25-minute train ride from Amsterdam Centraal lands beachgoers just a short flip-flop ... more

Party Earth Review Known for producing some of the best weed and hash in the city, Grey Area is one of the most popular coffeeshops in Amsterdam and has won countless High Times Cannabis Cup awards – although, ironically, most of the wins have been for marijuana produced in the United States. Nonetheless, this small coffeeshop and its high ... more

Though there’s the misconception that people spend too much time in the coffeeshops and forget about everything else going on in the city, there’s actually a whole range of things to do in Amsterdam, and its people certainly take advantage of that. Amsterdam’s plazas and parks, including the main Vondelpark, are filled with people lounging outdoors in the sun with friends, playing sports, and, of course, drinking and smoking.

A similar scene awaits on the landmark canals that run through town, where groups gather in boats to socialize, cruise the city, and take in the views from the water. Even in the cold winter months, events draw the locals out on their ever-present bikes to mush across town for shopping, exhibitions, incredible museum displays, and more. And Amsterdam’s nightlife also hums all year, promising so many things to do for those willing to drop the vaporizer and get their butts to the streets.
