Where to Stay?

Amsterdam is among the top 5 most visited cities in Europe, so booking early is essential if you want to stay central without breaking the bank.
Central Tips:
- Dam Square is the heart of the city — staying within a 2 km radius puts you within walking distance of most sights, restaurants, and all the gay nightlife.
- Budget hotels and larger chains tend to be located outside the A10 ring road. While often cheaper, note that public transport (metro/tram) stops after midnight, and taxis or Ubers can be hard to find and pricey for a 6–9 km ride at night.
