Booked my trip for March, however i really dont know what to expect as ive never been before.
Im an avid smoker so i'm not so worried about myself but my friend is quite inexperienced, could anybody recommend any good coffee shops for starters, i dont wanna chuck her in at the deep end?
thanks

Hello Lucee-x and welcome.
You should take your friend to Voyagers, real close to the train station, great smoke and run by wonderful people. Mr & Mrs Hb will look after you both.
Enjoy.

Hi Lucee,
I would second deKuil and add that Siberie is a nice mellow and out of the way place. If you like hash go to Bluebird too.
When will you be in town?

Have fun.

Here's another vote for DeKuil/420 as the "first" shop. It was my first and it was a very pleasant place to "ease into" the whole scene.

Have a great time Amsterdam is extra special that first time ever visiting.... :mrgreen:

Hill Street Blues on the Market is also a pretty relaxing coffeeshop to visit for first timers.

Voyagers is a good shout for the first visit, the people are nice and welcoming - I'd also say Basjoes as well, they've got a nice relaxed vibe with good chilling songs in the background plus is wasn't too over crowded. All the best on your trip!

Thanks I get there on the 24th of march and leave on the 25th, so not a long trip but I'm hoping this wont be my last trip.
Heard good things about 420 before, but i'll definitely be checking out voyagers too x
