Getting to the Hash Marihuana and Hemp Museum in Amsterdam – Address, Directions, and How to Get There

By Car

The museum is located in the city center, just a few minutes from Dam Square, making it easy to reach by car.

Since parking in Amsterdam’s historic district is limited, it’s best to use nearby paid parking garages, such as Parking Oosterdok or De Bijenkorf Parking Garage, both within a short walk.

Consider using P+R (Park and Ride) facilities at the edge of the city for more affordable rates and convenient tram connections to the center.

By Tram

Amsterdam’s efficient tram network makes reaching the museum simple.

From Amsterdam Central Station, take Tram 4, 14, or 24 and get off at Dam Square or Rokin — the museum is just a 5-minute walk from either stop.

Trams are frequent, fast, and a great way to see the city on your way to the museum.

By Metro

The nearest metro station is Nieuwmarkt, only a 3-minute walk from the museum entrance.

You can take Metro Lines 51, 53, or 54 from Amsterdam Central Station to Nieuwmarkt and exit at Nieuwmarktplein.

This is one of the most direct routes if you’re traveling from other parts of the city or nearby suburbs.

By Bus

Several city buses stop near Dam Square and Nieuwmarkt, just a short stroll away from the museum.

Buses are a good option if you’re staying outside the city center or traveling from neighborhoods not covered by tram lines.

Check schedules on the GVB (Amsterdam Public Transport) app for up-to-date timings.

By Train

If you’re arriving in Amsterdam by train, Amsterdam Central Station is the nearest major hub — only 10 minutes on foot from the museum.

You can also take a short tram or metro ride from the station if you prefer not to walk.

The route from the station takes you through Amsterdam’s beautiful canals and historic streets.

On Foot or By Bike

The museum is ideally located in the Red Light District (De Wallen), making it easily accessible on foot from most central attractions.

Walking gives you a chance to enjoy the charming canals, bridges, and old Amsterdam architecture.

If you’re biking, you’ll find designated bike racks nearby — a convenient and very Dutch way to reach the museum.
