Main gay areas - Find me a hotel
 |
 Amsterdam is not a big city; most venues are at walking distance. For accomodation however, you may easily end up in the entire wrong part of town. As to the gay areas, We cut out the part
of the centre, where 99% of the gay venues can be found. We divided them into four main gay area's. Where you can find these area's you can see on the
 overview map

Leather & Kinky Area: Warmoesstraat
|
Trendy Area: Reguliersdwarsstraat

Dutch Area: Amstel
|
The Amstel-area is, together with the Reguliersdwarsstraat area the trendy neighborhood. It is situated around the Rembrandtplein, a square with lots of terasses outside in summertime. Here you wil find many gay bars, from dance-bars to cosy small bars where people meet.
 The smaller regular hotels can be found in this neighbourhood. Some pleasant gayhotels are nearby. It's also the area to rent a houseboat.
|
Local Area: Kerkstraat
|
The Kerkstraat-area is one of the oldest gay-areas around town, and is situated near the Leidseplein, where the Casino and City Theatre are. The Leidseplein is the area for most straight people to go out. The Kerkstraat nevertheless, is a cosy, gay friendly neighborhood. You will also find most of the gay hotels here.
One of the rural areas in town. During the weekends it's crowded here. Plenty of Luxury hotels; most gayhotels are also in this area. Close by to the museum quarter and the Vondelpark.

Other areas you may want to consider staying at
|
Museum Quarter A beautifull and quiet area in town, close to the
'Quartier Latin' of Amsterdam ("de Pijp"); average about 10 minutes away from the Leidseplein and Kerkstraat area.

Vondelpark Quarter The most beautifull buildings in town can be found here; lovely and quiet.
Please be aware that the Vondelpark is quite big; if you stay at the down-town city side, you may be a few minutes walk away from the Leidseplein and Kerkstraat area.
However, if you stay at the opposite side of the park, it may take you more then half an hour walk. Renting a bike might be a good idea in that case.

Convention Centre (RAI) area
Not our choice to stay at if you would like to
explore town; average taxi fee around 25 euro's one way and up; too far to go by bike.

Schiphol Area: Again a long long way from town. Would only stay
there for a short stop between flights.
