    if you listen really good quality music and have a good time, you should come only here.  when searching a hostel, you consider getting closer to this area. so heart of the city beats here!

    Crowds of tourists, overpriced cafes and restaurants and strong smell of weed everywhere. I think most of locals don't like to hang out here.

    Great place to grab a drink during the afternoon. During the evenings, it's quite lively with different bars and restaurants on the side streets.

    Leave now. While you can. It's full of tourists who get lost walking from dam square. And the Dutch who live outside of Amsterdam. You still have time you escape.

    Near the big clubs but check the rules before entry. They're not a fan of groups of only guys (even a pair)
