Cannabis in Utrecht: What to Expect

Utrecht is one of the Netherlands' most livable cities and home to the country's largest university. The combination of a compact, beautifully preserved medieval centre, a massive student population, and excellent rail connections to Amsterdam and the rest of the country makes Utrecht an outstanding base for exploring the Netherlands. The cannabis scene reflects the city's character: quality-focused, locally oriented, and less tourist-saturated than Amsterdam.

Utrecht's Oudegracht canal, with its unique double-level architecture of street and water-level wharves, is one of the most beautiful urban environments in the Netherlands. Many of the city's best coffeeshops are within walking distance of the canal.
