Cheap hotels in Old Center

EuroCheapo's Guide to Cheap Hotels in Amsterdam

Neighborhood Description

The Old Center is home to the Red Light District and most of the main tourist attractions, with the notable exception of Amsterdam's most important museums. Dam Square, the Royal Palace, Nieuwmarkt, startlingly graphic storefronts, and a seemingly endless supply of "coffeeshops" keep the area packed with eager—and often gawking—tourists. This is Amsterdam's touristy nerve-center. It's dirty, chaotic, crowded, and, for some, enthralling.
