Is September a good time to visit the Dam?

Post by Metalferrets »

My boyfriend and I are planning our first trip and we were going to go to the Cannabis Cup but we don't really want to deal with the cold and windy weather. So is September a good time to go?

I would avoid going a few days before and after 10-15 September as the IBC conference is in-town those dates.
Room rates are increased during this time frame.

If you do not like crowds do not go for April 30 or December 31.

If you don't like crowds, try Haarlem. It's a 15 minute train ride from Amsterdam and has a healthy coffeeshop scene of its own.
You should at least do a day trip to this fun little city.

If you are feeling real adventurous go 30 minutes the other direction and see Utrecht. A college town it figures the coffeeshop scene there is mostly young ( to me anyway ) folks. Attention shoppers! The train station is in a shopping mall.

Enjoy

We were there the weekend of Sept 25th last year and it was warm enough until about 4pm to sit out in the park and smoke jays.

But hey - what's the worst that can happen? You have to spend the day in and out of coffee shops. Like MAJOR hardship!

I've been twice in september, both early in the month and late and had no problem with the weather. A little showery at times but I know of plenty of places to take cover if the need arises and they all have a little green and white square in the window :D :D :D .
even in the quietest moments...........
