Nightlife in Amsterdam

The liveliest areas are the Rembrandtplein, Leidseplein, and of course the famous Red Light District (“de Wallen” as the locals know it). The nightlife in Amsterdam is a lot safer than many foreigners believe it to be.

Brown Café

The Dutch are known for the word “gezellig”. It’s difficult to translate this into English but the best description would be cozy and homey, relaxed feeling of being with people. That is why a lot of people are also going to a Brown Café (“Bruine kroeg”) on a night out.

Bars & Pubs

Additionally, there are also special bars for those who love cocktails, beers or whisky. Check out our featured listing of the most popular and special bars in Amsterdam.
