Coffeeshops Amsterdam - 4
As explained on the other Amsterdam Coffee Shops Pages, the city has been undergoing significant changes since 2016 to address coffeeshop tourism in the Red Light District. Many coffee shops have been required to close their doors before 2020 as part of this process. Additionally, coffee shops located near schools have faced similar mandates to cease their cannabis business operations.
These changes have reshaped Amsterdam's coffeeshop landscape, prompting the disappearance of some beloved establishments.
