For many European tourists, no visit to the city of Amsterdam is complete, without enjoying its nightlife. For centuries, this capital of Netherlands has functioned as one of the cultural hubs of Europe. The city's name originates from a dam located on the river Amstel. Due to the region's innovations in trade, the city became one of the most crucial ports during the Dutch Golden Age.
Amsterdam has become famous for its red light district, located in an old quarter of the city. Ironically, it's located near the Oude Kerk (Old Church), which dates back to the early 1200s. There, you can see several attractive sexy workers behind windows that are brightly lit. While these working girls are the main attraction of this section of town, you can also find an array of cafes, small restaurants, and nightclubs there.
It's important to note that the red light district isn't for the faint of heart. If you're looking for brothels, sex shops, and other such places, then it's definitely the right area for you. It's easily one of the most famous tourist spots in Amsterdam. Amsterdam's red light district is essentially everything you've heard about it, but you'll need to experience it for yourself!
Leidseplein is another popular place to visit if you want to enjoy Amsterdam's nightlife. Its cafes, theaters, cinemas, and nightclubs, can keep you busy at night. Interestingly, the square started growing during the 1600s. Farmers and peasants used the area to park their carts before moving to the heart of the city. Its name is derived from "Leidsepoort,"
which once was located at the end of a primary road (from Amsterdam to Leiden).
When in Leidseplein at nighttime, you can enjoy a wide array of sights and sounds, including fire-eaters, jugglers, and street musicians. If you want to try your luck, you can even spend some time at a casino in the square!
Rembrandtplein is another popular square in Amsterdam, full of clubs and close cinemas. The square became a hot spot for nightlife, as several hotels and cafes opened up in the area. At nighttime, Rembrandtplein becomes a popular place where many people enjoy sitting outdoors while enjoying a drink.
Finally, Jordan is another old quarter in Amsterdam, which has become another nightlife hot spot. It's full of several cafes and restaurants. As its name suggests, Rembrandt is linked to the area, as he lived here. The area includes markets, art galleries, boutiques, courtyards, and museums.
When staying in Amsterdam, you have several options for accommodations, ranging from basic to posh. However, you should definitely consider booking a holiday apartment online. It's one of the most convenient choices, and particularly if you're planning to stay in the city for several days.
