Where To Stay in Amsterdam Close To Everything

Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in Europe, but there’s more to it than just canals and bikes. You’ll find that some neighborhoods are better for exploring than others, especially if you’re looking for a unique experience that doesn’t involve eating another plate of fries at an artisanal burger joint. Here are my picks for where to stay in Amsterdam close to everything:

De Jordaan

The Jordaan is a great place to stay and it’s close to the center, but not too close. It’s quiet and safe, with plenty of restaurants and bars that you can walk to. There are also good transport links (both metro and bus) to get around the city quickly.

The Anne Frank House has been renovated recently so now there are guided tours that take you through her house in detail, as well as an exhibition on her life called “Life at Auschwitz-Birkenau” which you can visit on your way out of Amsterdam by train or subway if you have time after seeing all other sights (or vice versa).

de Hallen area

The de Hallen area is a former industrial area that’s now home to many restaurants, bars, and galleries. It’s also close to the city center and has many hotels. If you’re looking for a stay that gives you access to all of Amsterdam’s attractions, this is your spot!

The de Hallen district contains some of Amsterdam’s best shopping options with markets like Albert Cuypmarkt on Saturdays where you can find anything from vintage clothes to organic produce. You’ll also find plenty of shops selling local products like crafts made by artists in Amsterdam or even food items from nearby farms—all within walking distance from one another (or even biking).

Amsterdam East

Amsterdam East is a great option for travelers who want to be close to the airport, but still want to be in the city. The eastern part of Amsterdam is quiet and residential, with plenty of green space. There are also plenty of shops, restaurants and bars in this area as well as many sights and attractions that can easily be reached from here.

the Pijp area

The Pijp area is close to the center of Amsterdam and has many restaurants, bars, and clubs. You can also easily walk or bike to other parts of town from here. If you’re looking for an interesting night out on the town with your friends or family, this is the place for you!

The red light district is just a few blocks away from this neighborhood as well so if you’re into that kind of thing then check out some brothels while in Amsterdam!

Amsterdam-Noord (North)

This is the place for you if you like to be close to the water, explore Amsterdam on foot, and/or be near an airport. It’s also good if you want your apartment or hotel room to be close to a beach, which Amsterdam has plenty of!

Where you stay can make a big difference in your time in Amsterdam

The location of your hotel is important. If you want to be close to everything, but don’t want to pay for it, then look for hotels that are within walking distance of public transit (the city has a high number of bikes). You should also consider how easily accessible your chosen accommodation is from airports and train stations.

If you’re planning on spending most of your time outside Amsterdam in the countryside or neighboring cities like Haarlem, Utrecht and Leiden, then renting an Airbnb apartment might be a better option than staying at one of Amsterdam’s many luxurious hotels. This way you’ll have more room to move around and do whatever activities interest you!

In addition there are plenty more things worth considering before deciding where exactly will suit best when visiting such as whether or not they provide Wi-Fi throughout all rooms; whether they have parking available nearby; if they offer breakfast included within their prices/rates etc…
