Amsterdam Travel Guide - Nightlife
The city is the perfect place to party, with most clubs opening their doors around 22:00 and staying open until 05:00. You’ll find that the real action gets started after midnight.
There are plenty of cultural events on offer for culture buffs and you will find a number of good jazz and dance clubs along the canals, as well as a selection of cabaret shows in English. Leidseplein lies at the heart of night time action, where some of the city's most popular eateries and bars are also found.
