Coffeeshop Walking Tour

First of all, where are we? This is where the original dam was in the river Amstel back in the year 1200, right there at the tram track. Later they re-placed it back in the direction of the Dam square to hold it stronger against the floods. Left, in the direction of the street, you still see a nice “bit“ of the original river Amstel. That’s where the name came from; Amstel and Dam = Amsterdam! The first people living on this swampy piece of land were fishermen.

Is everybody above 18 years old? This is important to know, otherwise, these younger people have to stay outside the Coffeeshops you are going to visit. The minimum age to enter a Coffeeshop is 18 years. Also, while you are going to have this cannabis tour please do not take pictures inside or in front of the coffee shops that we are going to pay a visit. Many of their clients want to stay anonymous and I hope you will respect this! Or ask the people inside if they don’t mind.
