    Trendy Area: Reguliersdwarsstraat
    Reguliersdwarsstraat area

    The Reguliersdwarsstraat-area is one of the most trendy gay area's in Amsterdam, together with the Amstel-area. Especially in summertime, when most of the street is closed for traffic, on warmer evenenings the street in front of the bars is a favourite hang-out for many locals (especially in front of the April bar)

    hotel info
    In this area you find, like anywhere in town, plenty of the de-luxe hotels. Most gay hotels are not in this area, but are close by. If you are looking for a quiet neighbourhood to stay, again, this is not the area.

    Pride-specific: this street is (over) crowded during pride, as streetparties also take place here.

    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.

    Class







    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.
