During the Koningsdag Amsterdam, you can dance, drink, eat and have fun all day. In every place, street, city square. Even along the Amstel, there are hundreds of festively decorated boats full of festive people. And, of course, traditional coma, there are lots of dance parties organized outdoors, in parks, bars or pubs. Enjoy this crazy show.

Generally, prices for sleeping in the center are quite high. Considering the efficient transport network, you will not have difficulty in finding facilities well served by public transport. In this way, what you save on housing, you can invest it on … entertainment!

Kanoa recommends the Teleport Hotel Amsterdam. For a cheap but satisfactory solution, among budget hotels, in our opinion it is the best. Located at 400 meters from Amsterdam Sloterdijk Train Station, Teleport Hotel offers modern studios, private parking, bicycle rental and free WiFi.

WestCord Art Hotel Amsterdam is a solution, in our opinion, really good; It is located a few minutes from the city center, and has a bus stop (48) right outside the entrance. The category is 4 stars, but prices are not prohibitive at all; There is an outdoor swimming pool, WiFi throughout and on-site parking
