Dam Square is considered the center of Amsterdam, but the areas around Nieuwmarkt and Spui are just as interesting. The Red District is part of the center. |

Southern Suburbs (Zuid) One of the key areas, a trip to the city is not complete without a visit to the museum area. You can relax in the Vondelpark with a glass of wine, or look for Albert Cuyp Market opportunities. It is the most popular area for accommodation, as the prices are cheaper than the center. |
West Suburbs The western suburbs are a large area built in the 19th and 20th centuries in the architectural style of Amsterdam. Vondelbuurt has beautiful villas and Westerpark is known for its cultural attractions. |
Northern Suburbs (Noord) An area that is developing significantly with new cultural centers such as the NDSM-werf and the EYE Film Institute. The area east of the A10 is a protected area such as Waterland. The best way to explore it is by bike. |
Eastern Suburbs (Oost) The eastern suburbs are a large and varied residential area. Eastern Docklands and IJburg are expensive neighborhoods known for their modern architecture. |
Southeastern suburbs (Zuidoost) Located outside of Amsterdam, Bijlmer is a meeting place for many cultures. Built to be the neighborhood of the future in the 1970s, it quickly made headlines for crime and robbery. Security has improved considerably in recent years and ArenA Boulevard is an attraction for concerts and football. |
