Day Trips from Amsterdam

Zandvoort – There's no gay beach in Amsterdam, but there is in this coastal town just thirty minutes away by train from Amsterdam Central Station.

It's a perfect destination to learn about the country's architecture and traditions in a fun and engaging way. Its setup is unique in that it's made for exhibitionism — think UV lights and mirrors, 90s porn style — instead of the usual dark, industrial basement vibes. Quite literally at thus miniature park showcasing famous Dutch landmarks and cultural heritage in a 1:25 scale model.

Oh, and there's even a DJ in the restrooms!

ITC Hotel

Facing one of the main canals, this gay-friendly hotel offers basic accommodation in a prime location.

Topping the list of gay-friendly destinations, the city of canals is an oasis for travelers who can let loose and show their true colors in one of the most liberal-minded cities on the map.

Amsterdam has worked hard to clean up its reputation as the debauched party city of Europe over the last few years.

Clubs

Club NYX

Spread over three floors, this dance club located in the gay street plays different musical styles to a diverse crowd. During this tour, you'll learn about a 17th-century lesbian love triangle, a 19th-century bisexual ruler, a 17th-century intersex soldier, and more.

Need we say more? The biggest monthly circuit party-esque club in Amsterdam.
