A Rotterdam coffeeshop outside the central area closes at 22:00, and one near a secondary school shuts during lessons. Rotterdam's policy, in force since November 22, 2017, cut opening from 07:00 to 10:00 and closing from 01:00 or 02:00 to 22:00, with midnight allowed only in a designated central area. Visitors 18 and older with a passport or national ID are usually served, since the residents-only rule is written into policy but not enforced.

Verdex lists seven shops. In Rotterdam, Coffeeshop ’t Trefpunt on Botersloot near the Markthal and The Reef on Oppert; in The Hague, Dizzy Duck on Trompstraat, Doctor Green on Herenstraat and Greenhouse Secret Farmers on Elandstraat. A single purchase is capped at 5 grams.

The Hague's streets, Rotterdam's school rule and the experiment

The Hague had 36 coffeeshops in 2021 against 103 in 1995, and each is inspected four times a year, according to the mayor's letter to the council. They sit in ordinary streets, mostly the Weimarstraat in Segbroek and the Zeeheldenkwartier, where Greenhouse Secret Farmers trades. Parts of the city, including Den Haag Zuidwest, ban smoking cannabis in public. Rotterdam had 39 shops at the end of 2024 according to the national count, and its school rule applies to any shop within 200 metres in a straight line and 250 metres on foot.

  • Hours: Rotterdam 10:00 to 22:00, some central shops to 24:00. The Hague shops we list open 09:00 or 10:00 and close from 22:30 to 01:00.
  • Relocation: The Hague's plan to move Galaxy from the Weimarstraat to near De Uithof was struck by the new coalition in summer 2026; four opposition parties filed questions that the city must answer by October 13.
  • Experiment: the province's one trial municipality is Voorne aan Zee, which includes Hellevoetsluis, where since April 7, 2025 shops sell only cannabis from government-designated growers.

Rotterdam and The Hague are not in the experiment, so their shops buy through the illegal back door. The Hague keeps the option of enforcing the residents rule if drug tourism shifts there. Our guides cover Rotterdam hours and school rules and what visitors get wrong about The Hague.

Questions about this list

Can tourists buy cannabis in Rotterdam and The Hague?

Usually yes. Both cities have the residents-only rule in policy but chose not to prioritize enforcing it. Bring a passport or national ID to prove you are 18 or older, and expect a 5 gram limit per purchase.

What time do Rotterdam coffeeshops close?

At 22:00 as a rule, under Rotterdam's coffeeshop policy. Shops in the designated central area may stay open until 24:00, and shops near a secondary school must close during lessons.

Why did The Hague drop the Galaxy coffeeshop move?

The city's new coalition of Hart voor Den Haag, VVD, CDA and Denk struck the plan in summer 2026 to move Galaxy from the Weimarstraat to the Jaap Edenweg near De Uithof. Four opposition parties have asked for an explanation.
