Accommodation Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the lively creative heart of the Netherlands. The city is full with tourist highlights, culture and creativity. For example, the Rijks Museum, the Anne Frank House or the Van Gogh Museum.

But Amsterdam has much more to offer. It is a relaxed city full of fun, good food, culture and creativity. Fortunately, the town is not that big. Rent a bicycle to see the city from another angle.

Besides a large variety of hospitality, Amsterdam also has a large variety of accommodation. There are youth hostels, which are cheap, but busy. You will also find hotels at every desired location. However, these are often expensive. Therefore consider renting an apartment. It’s a much more personal way of staying and you’re often amongst the real locals of Amsterdam and their way of living.
