Hostels in Amsterdam
If you are looking for hostel accommodation in
Amsterdam, you will probably end up finding a room in the city centre. Two thirds of all hotel and
hostel accommodation is located here. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as most of the tourist attractions are also located in the centre. While there all tourists should see the Amsterdam canals. These canals are some of the oldest in Europe and have been designated a World Heritage Site. In addition to the canals, Amsterdam is most famous for its red-light district and cannabis coffee shops, the Van Gogh Museum, Anne Frank’s House, and the Rijksmuseum. The city has had a significant impact on the world through time as the centre of one of the largest colonial empires in the 17th century. It is home to some architecturally stunning streets and its relative flatness makes it easy to go for long strolls in the early evening. You can also find accommodation in other such architecturally granny cities of Europe such as
flats in New York,
Edinburgh and
Rome.
Finding an apartment in Amsterdam
For those who are looking for something different but are not looking to break their budget with hotel fees then it’s a good idea to check out staying with local residents of Amsterdam perhaps. With
Wimdu you can see the listings of several places in the area and decide if their hostel accommodation and price are right for you whether it be hostel,
guest house or flats. When you join our site, you make a profile and can search the profiles of the people looking to let their place. On their profile you will find a brief description of their place, some photographs and reviews from past guests. Not only that but the profile includes a calendar with all of their available dates and any price variation that may occur over fancy weekends. Finally, staying with a local can really open Amsterdam’s door allowing you to see how local people live, where they go to have fun, and what secret gems you may be missing by being guided by your Lonely Planet. If your planning on using your lonely planet guide elsewhere on your travels, why not think Wimdu and find a
late room in Barcelona,
Sydney or
Istanbul among many other top destinations around the world.
