The other posters are right - there's a lot to do there. You can also ride the trains for day trips to Utrecht , http://www.holland.com/utrechtprov/gb/, the Hague, or other places in Holland. You can find coffee shops in the other cities, also. Many great musical artists play in Holland, and getting tickets is easy.

Sure, it's great to be able to legally blaze - but don't sell Holland short as a good vacation spot for other reasons.

Personally, I loved just walking around, people watching, seeing the van Gogh paintings, etc. The van Gogh museum alone is worth the trip.

They haven't ruined the landscape by building tall structures - so it's still very "old world" there.

For people that just want to relax on a beach, then I guess you could do better.
