Harlingen may be best known for its ferry terminal and maritime charm, but tucked between the canals and cobbled streets, you’ll also find a small, licensed coffeeshop. It's the only one in town — and for most locals and visitors, that's perfectly fine.
Here, cannabis isn't part of a scene — it’s just a quiet part of daily life.
The single coffeeshop in Harlingen operates with the typical Frisian no-nonsense approach: clean, low-key, and to the point. No lounge, no hype — just walk in, choose your product, and head out.
You’ll usually find:
Dutch weed & hash classics
Pre-rolled joints
Affordable accessories like papers and tips
Polite, efficient staff
Mostly local customers, with the occasional traveler
Ideal for anyone sailing in, biking through, or just looking to avoid crowded city shops.
Located by the Wadden Sea and ferry routes to Vlieland and Terschelling, Harlingen is a perfect place to unwind before or after island hopping. If you're passing through Friesland, this is one of your last coffeeshop stops before heading north.

Coffee shops near the borders with Belgium and Germany often have restrictions on allowing tourists. To enter and purchase cannabis, you must either be a Dutch citizen or be employed in the Netherlands.
If you're temporarily working or studying in the country, you can obtain proof from the city council and request a GBA Extract (GBA-Uitreksel). This documentation will help demonstrate your eligibility to access these establishments.
