Cannabis in Leiden: What to Expect

Leiden is one of the most historically significant cities in the Netherlands: home to the oldest university in the country, the birthplace of Rembrandt van Rijn, and the origin point of the Pilgrim Fathers who sailed to America in 1620. The city's coffeeshop scene is modest in size but high in quality, reflecting a population that includes significant numbers of university students, academics, and internationally-minded professionals.

Leiden's coffeeshops are concentrated in and around the Binnenstad, the historic canal-ringed city centre that is one of the most beautiful in the Netherlands. The student population from Leiden University and the Leiden University Medical Centre provides a reliable and sophisticated customer base that the city's shops serve well.
