Amsterdam

Amsterdam is another gay capital in the world. It might be a little smaller than Berlin but it still has so much to offer, you might never see it all! And you know.. the weed makes the difference. There are five different gay districts in Amsterdam: Amstel, Zeedijk, Warmoesstraat, Reguliersdwarsstraat and Kerkstraat. There are also many annual events like the New Year’s Eve, the Roze Filmdagen film festival in March, the King’s Day open-air party in April, Fetish Pride in May, “Get Ruff!” Leather Pride - a weekend event in October and a whole week long Gay Pride in July. There are countless other events, bars, clubs dedicated to the LGBT community.

There is also an important memorial in Amsterdam called Homomonument. It commemorates gay and lesbian persecution of their sexual orientation and it is the first such memorial in history. The monument is made of three pink triangles, each at a different location in Amsterdam.

If you want to experience an unconventional Amsterdam, we recommend going to Noord. You’ll find a free of charge ferry behind Centraal Station and it will take you to where art perspires everything. NDSM Nederlands Dok en Scheepsgebouw Maatschappij or the Dutch Dock and Shipbuilding Company is where everything happens, festivals, concerts, street art, fashion shows and photo shoots. There’s a submarine floating on water covered in graffiti and a skate park. You can also spend a night in the Crane Hotel (literally a hotel made in crane 13) in NDSM. And a cafe inside a shipping container close to the water called Pllek bar & restaurant with a Texas theme food. But the main reason to go there is the famous flea market called IJ Hallen which you can go to once a month. It attracts with authenticity and uniqueness that you won’t find anywhere else. You could also try the Noorderlicht cafe which hosts many events.

Lastly, if you have considered going to the Red Light District we suggest you take a tour guide with you. They will show you the most interesting and important parts of the place.
