Indeed it is.
OP, you might want to spend some time looking through the forum. There are several threads with similar questions and should help you decide.

Peace

Sorry, it looks like Grasshopper is the only one closing on the April 13th. When are you going? The tourist ban is slated to start next month.

No there are a few other coffeeshops in Eindhoven. The Grasshopper is closing on 13 April. The tourist ban is supposed to start in the southern provinces, includes Eindhoven & Tilburg, on 1 May. Since you are planning to go after that, I would go to Amsterdam.

Groningen mate, a really beautiful city in the North. One of the jewels in Hollands crown I reckon. I've been there, the coffeeshops and gear are quality and it's certainly not Madsterdam. Go there or be forever unfullfilled, 2 or 3 days minimum. It's a great place to get stoned and relax, not mass tourist destination but not off the beaten track. :D

Blue skies :D
What a long strange trip it is.

Yes man you would love it, I was there with my bike and it was cool place for bombing around. I'm a London cyclist so I can do traffic but what I remember about Groningen is it's quite a calm place, and the Coffeeshops are dotted about but it's not a big city. :D. Have a good trip wherever you get to.
