Amsterdam Coffeeshop Directory Forums

Hi,
Probably the obvious question but I am attending Queens Night & Day.....are all the coffee shops packed out? Is it best to buy & fly or are there oasises of relative calm?
Cheers

good question, i`ll be there till after lunch myself?

i would assume so... was reading something and they said it takes around 5-10 min to walk from dam square to the train station normally... on queens day it would take over an hour.

with all the ppl i would think so.

I will be there. (april 1st for 3 months)

Can't wait to experience queens day in person. looks mental!

i've been to queens night/day last year... cs were packed as usualy.. didnt notice any diference despite there's a hhhhuuugggeeee party outside de CS... so you problably will buy and fly

yeah, i gotta get the brussels train at 2ish so i`ll probably stock up friday night

wasn't there talks of toning down queens day after http://current.com/news/90009944_at-lea ... ns-day.htm this happened?

am there myself this year (1st queens day i have been there for)

I'm not sure if it was the 420 Cafe or not but some close to avoid becoming a public WC I heard. You can only rent beer.

I dont know how much I will enjoy this. I do not like big crowds. We may get some smoke after visiting a party or two then hang back at our apartment and drink some beer and pack to leave the next day.

Last Queens day I sat in Resin coffeeshops front window for around a hr. or so ,With the budtender smoking desert egele watching the crowds roll and flow by like a rain swollen river.and there was only 3 others in the shop at the time. But on the other hand the Greenhouse lounge was completely packed to the rafters . So I gess what it comes down to is were you're at
