Amsterdam is planning on bringing in tough measures for tourists visiting the city, which is known for it’s legal cannabis use and brothels. A destination associated with partying, it’s introducing new rules in an effort to crack down on “nuisance and overcrowding”.
Included in the campaign are plans to stop the sale of cannabis on weekends and even banning the consumption of cannabis in certain areas of Amsterdam. Stricter rules could be in place for Airbnbs and short-term holiday lets, with owners encouraged to turn them into homes for residents.
Tourists could also be taxed when visiting the city at busy times in the future.
