Green House

Set along the canal on Oudezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam’s Red Light District (De Wallen), Green House sits in the thick of the city’s most storied quarter. The area is lively from morning to late, with narrow medieval lanes, canalside terraces and a constant flow of visitors moving between Dam Square, the Oude Kerk and the surrounding streets. Green House occupies a historic canal house, which adds to the sense of old Amsterdam right outside its windows.

Part of the well-known Green House group, this branch is the chain’s busiest and one of its most photographed. Inside, the mood is energetic but friendly, with a steady mix of tourists and returning regulars. Display cases packed with trophies from cannabis competitions underline the brand’s long involvement with cultivation, and a “wall of fame” of celebrity visitors has become a small attraction in its own right. Seating runs to compact tables, and when the weather cooperates there’s usually a canalside spot to watch the boats go by. It’s a straightforward, social place that suits first-timers curious about the Amsterdam coffeeshop experience as much as seasoned fans who know the Green House name.

Cannabis Menu

Green House offers a broad cannabis menu that typically includes a wide range of flower alongside several types of hash. You’ll also find convenient options like pre-rolls, and there are often a few edibles for those who prefer a non-smoking route. The selection changes, but the emphasis here is on variety and recognizable Green House staples, with staff on hand to explain differences and suggest something that fits your preferences.

Given the brand’s track record in competitions, expect to see award notes on certain items and a clear separation between different categories of flower and hash. It’s a good place to compare classic Amsterdam styles with newer genetics, all in one sitting.

A Great Stop in the Red Light District

Location is a major draw. From Green House you can step straight into De Wallen’s canals and side streets, explore the courtyards around the Oude Kerk, or wander toward Dam Square for shopping and cafés. The neighborhood’s concentration of sights makes it easy to fold a visit here into a broader day: a morning canal walk, an hour at Green House, then onward to Chinatown and Nieuwmarkt or across the bridges toward the city center.

If you’re staying near Dam or the Rokin, this is one of the most convenient coffeeshops to reach on foot. The constant buzz outside means you can drop in between other plans without detouring far from the main attractions.

Why Visit Green House?

Green House is ideal if you want the archetypal Amsterdam coffeeshop experience in a central, canalside setting. The brand pedigree, the trophy cabinets and the celebrity wall give it a bit of lore, while the atmosphere stays approachable and welcoming.

For travelers building a coffeeshop itinerary, Green House stands out for its location, breadth of choice and easygoing, social vibe. Whether it’s your first stop in Amsterdam or a repeat visit, it’s a dependable place to sample a wide range of cannabis in the heart of the city.
