Schiedam, known for its giant windmills and jenever distilleries, also has a more modern attraction — a small but solid coffeeshop scene.
Just west of Rotterdam, this city offers a more relaxed and local vibe compared to the chaos of downtown.
If you're looking to escape the tourist crowds but still want quality weed in a chill setting, Schiedam is worth the detour.
While the selection of shops is limited, the quality is decent and the atmosphere is friendly. These are local hangouts — clean, efficient, and focused on good service. Expect:
Takeaway-focused shops
Locals behind the counter who know their regulars
Clear pricing and solid menus
Less noise, more respect
Perfect for those who like to keep things low-key.
Schiedam is just minutes from Rotterdam and Vlaardingen by tram or car, making it a smart option if you’re staying nearby. It’s also convenient for travelers heading toward the coast or the port area.
Bonus: parking is easier here, and prices are usually a bit friendlier than in the big city. And if you’re into old-school Dutch charm, the historic center of Schiedam is worth a walk.

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.
