Partying in Amsterdam: The Alternative View of the City's Social Scene

Comments  (1)

Jun 3, 2012 —  Amsterdam has possibly the most casual, carefree vibe on the continent, which is quite amazing considering its incredibly active and never-ending party atmosphere.

The city’s live music scene is truly off the charts and offers all kinds of performances – from rock, techno, and hip-hop to reggae, jazz, and beyond – at venues ranging from tiny basement spaces to huge arenas.

The city also has a number of edgy, alternative dive bars that attract unusual, free-thinking characters who are always up for a good conversation over a smoke and a beer.

And of course, the coffeeshop culture offers a great way to meet an international mix of like-minded people and to relax in a variety of unique environments, whether you settle into a comfortable corner on a rainy afternoon or join the crowds on a sun-filled terrace.
