Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

roaming charges would diligently soon mount up. The prepaid internet access deals are pretty good over there. I actually already ordered a Vodafone prepaid sim card from ebay. My phone is unlocked so as soon as I arrive I just have to switch the sim in the phone and I'll get instant access. Vodafon...

Thanks for the info. I had to change my plans so instead of going to Zandvoort, I'm going to Leiden. I checked on ns.nl and I can take the train from Schiphol to Leiden Centraal and then I have to take the bus from there to the hotel which is 6 min. So, that should be ok if I have to take the bus fo...

When I arrive to Schiphol I have to get to Zandvoort with a carry-on luggage, will this be an issue on the bus? Or else I'm thinking of hiring a driver to take me there. I'm assuming that most people getting picked up from Schiphol would have luggage with them on the bus but, I don't know how the bu...

I haven't been there yet but, been on the forum a while so I'll answer to the best of my ability based on what I've gathered from here. Ok is there any Coffeshop open 24h? No, but there are some smoker friendly places/bars open that will let you smoke there after hours. I think all CS in AMS have to...

Here's the Google Map for:

Netherlands - SmartShops - ACD Directory

I had this done since my phone has a GPS app so wherever I'm at I can just quickly pull up the map and find out the nearest coffeeshop anywhere I'm at in NL. I'm going for 3 months so I'm not going to be in the same place all the time so maybe not everybody needs GPS. So, what I found out was that i...

The only uncertain part I actually have no idea about is if Google maps would allow or have anything to do with this. Their adsense small print states, no promotion of alcohol or drugs, etc, but no idea what would happen here, if anything at all, but it did just cross my mind. There's coffeeshops l...

Nice piece of work,very handy. But sorry to be a pain,and it aint your mistake,but heaven coffee shop in sneek aint on Nauwe Noorderhorne ,its on Rienck Bockemakade http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&oe=UTF8&start=400&num=200&msa=0&msid=108070278940482901077.00048b...

Why doesn't the ACD site integrate the map 'abcdabcd' coded into an all encompassing coffeeshop map of the entire Netherlands on a complete web page, held and offered within the ACD site in an HTML frame or something? This seems to be the most logical step or am I missing something here? Yeah that'...

Ok, I got it done. I had all the coffeeshops in the ACD directory imported into Google Maps. I don't know how accurate this is, whatever was listed as closed in the directory I left out but, it might still not be completely accurate. If you see any that have been closed or name has changed, let me k...

How tough would it be for an American to move out to the Netherlands? In less than a year I will graduate with a degree in business management. Would that degree find me a job, or should I open my own business? I think I'd even prefer to own my own business if possible. Is this a possible dream for...

Something like this? http://www.amsterdamhashmap.com/ Yeah something like that but, actually on Google Maps so you can easily get directions with just a couple clicks. On that map they're using the image of Google maps but, if you click the links on the map it just seems to get you an address. So s...

Is there a google maps with all the coffeeshops on there? I saw somebody here (Sombrero, I think) had created a Google maps of clubs in Amsterdam. Is there something like this for coffeeshops? If not, where can I find a list of all the coffeeshops in NL with their addresses? I could probably get the...

You can buy a data bundle on vodafone prepaid for €9.50. It is meant to last a month, but i find i hit my usage limit in 2-3 weeks on my iPhone. Post a reminder up when you're in town and I'll try to come along to one of your t&t's.. What happens when you hit the usage limit? Do you just have t...

Does anyone know any good phone companies in amsterdam? I need a local prepaid sim with data (iphone). Any suggestions?

I'm going to use Vodafone (prepaid sim + data) there's a shop in Schiphol airport that sells them called, "Airport Telecom Shop".
