It will soon be illegal to smoke cannabis on the street in Amsterdam’s red light district under new regulations unveiled by the city.
The laws will come into effect from mid-May and aim to improve liveability for residents who have long complained of disruption caused by tourists.
The city council also announced on Thursday that restaurants and bars would have to close by 2am on Fridays and Saturdays and no new visitors would be allowed into the old city district after 1am.
Currently, the sale of alcohol from shops, liquor stores and cafes in the red light district is illegal from Thursday to Sunday after 4pm.
Now, the council will ask vendors to completely remove alcohol from their shopfronts during that time, or hide them from view.
It is illegal to consume alcohol in most public spaces in Amsterdam.
