Practical information : Going out Amsterdam
Timetable
Nightclubs are often open from Thursday to Saturday, from 11pm to 5am. Some addresses have a 24-hour permit and are more flexible about closing times.
Budget & Tips
Unfortunately, clubbing is becoming increasingly expensive in the Netherlands. For the cinema, early-bird rates are sometimes available. Senior citizens benefit from special rates. Credit cards are often not accepted and a debit card must be used. Tickets sold online are cheaper than at the box office. Think about it.
To be booked
Amsterdam offers a top-quality musical and cultural program, and evenings are often coveted as soon as they are pre-sold. For some concerts, tickets go on sale in just a few minutes. So plan ahead as much as possible.
Night transport
In the center, the bicycle is your best friend, otherwise night buses run. Uber service is also available in the city (www.uber.com/nl/nl/).
Age restrictions
In the Netherlands, the legal age for drinking alcohol is 18 years. Also be aware that some clubs and evenings may apply a higher minimum age.
What's very local
The dress code here is generally less select than in France, although you'll still need to make a creative effort to get into certain places.
Smokers
Smoking is banned in all public areas, and smoking areas were officially abolished 1 year ago.
Tourist traps
Many bars and pseudo-discotheques in the area are to be avoided: no atmosphere, exorbitant prices to be avoided absolutely... Speculation on concert tickets or special evenings rages and sometimes nominative tickets are issued. So be careful when you buy tickets on resale websites. To obtain tickets, do not do a global Internet search because resale sites that mark up tickets come up at the top of the search. Always go through the artist's or event's website which will redirect you to the official sales platform.
