What is the Best Time of Year to Visit Amsterdam?
Our Amsterdam Destination Specialists say the best time to conquer Amsterdam is between March and July because the weather is picking up.
However, Amsterdam is always popping, so you can hit up the city all year round.
Where is the Nightlife District?
De Wallen, in the heart of Amsterdam, is home to the Red-Light District and top nightlife hotspots.
Another nightlife-packed area is Leidseplein, which is just a 20-minute walk away from the Red-Light District. It’s a popular hub of sports bars and lively pubs.
The beauty of Amsterdam is that all the bars are close together, so you don’t have to waste valuable drinking time travelling between pubs. 🍻
