Clubbing and nightlife

Forget the clichés—Amsterdam’s nightlife goes way beyond red lights and dance floors. Party in repurposed schools, dance beneath stained-glass windows in a former church, or lose yourself in a silent disco on a rooftop. From queer cabaret to Afrobeat raves, the city’s nocturnal scene is full of wild, wonderful surprises.

Don't miss a thing during your trip!
