● Very high
Canals, Canal Parade and laid-back café culture — perfect for your first queer city weekend. Three days between Reguliersdwarsstraat and the Museum Quarter, at your own pace. Just a rough suggestion.
Trendy district
Around the Reguliersdwarsstraat and the Rembrandtplein are most queer bars — central and within walking distance.
Best time to visit
Summer is high season; At the beginning of August, the city celebrates the Canal Parade.
Don't Miss
A canal cruise, the museum district and the view over the canals at sunset.
