The complete guide to Eindhoven cannabis scene
Eindhoven is the Netherlands fifth-largest city and the capital of the Brabant design and technology region, home to ASML, Philips headquarters, and the Design Academy. The city's coffeeshop scene reflects its character: pragmatic, quality-focused, and less oriented toward tourism than Amsterdam or even Haarlem. Eindhoven draws visitors for its architecture, the Van Abbemuseum, and the Strijp-S creative district, and the coffeeshops that serve this population tend to prioritise consistent quality over novelty.
The Stratumseind, Europe's longest bar street, provides the most concentrated cluster of nightlife in the city including several of the best-regarded coffeeshops. Beyond the centre, neighbourhood shops in Woensel, Gestel, and Tongelre serve the city's large student population from TU/e and Fontys University of Applied Sciences.
