Tucked between the river Rhine and the green hills of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, Rhenen might not be the first name that pops up when you think “coffeeshop destination” — but don’t be fooled.
This small Dutch town offers a peaceful, no-nonsense cannabis experience without the chaos of the big cities.
Whether you're cycling through the countryside, visiting the nearby Ouwehands Zoo, or just in need of a relaxing break on your road trip, Rhenen has something to offer: good weed, friendly locals, and a coffeeshop that understands what chill really means.
Coffeeshops in towns like Rhenen are built on reputation. You’ll find a calm, respectful atmosphere — no tourist traps, no pushy sellers. Just honest product, fair pricing, and staff who treat you like a regular, even if it’s your first time.
Expect a menu that covers all the basics: hash, weed, pre-rolls, and usually a decent selection of gear and grinders. No frills, just quality — the way locals like it.
Because not every smoke break has to be in Amsterdam Coffeeshops. Rhenen gives you a chance to enjoy cannabis in a more natural setting — imagine sparking up after a walk along the river or a forest hike. Plus, parking is way easier.
Combine your visit with a trip to the Grebbeberg, some local snacks, or even a zoo visit if you’re feeling adventurous. It’s a perfect low-key getaway for those who want good weed without the crowds.

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.
