### The Sinner: Amsterdam Jordaan

Let’s be honest: you’re in Amsterdam to have a good time. You’re fun and you’re frisky, but you’re also on a budget. In the Jordaan neighbourhood, you’ll find yourself saving on accommodation while surrounded by plenty of bars to get the party started. Just a stone’s throw away from the historic Red Light District and many of Amsterdam’s best coffee shops, you’ll never miss out on the party in this exciting neighbourhood.

### The Family Type: Amsterdam Oost

Cruising with kids in Europe’s Las Vegas doesn’t have to mean constant dodging of the city’s most notorious elements. Discover Amsterdam Oost, a leafy neighborhood lined with typical Dutch houses that’s ideal for families. There’s also no lack of trendy (actual) coffee shops to delight the kids with oliebollen, a doughnut-like pastry, while Mom and Dad can grab a much-needed dose of caffeine.

### The Art Freak: De Pijp

Culture vulture? You’ll bring inspiration home with you when you stay in Amsterdam’s vibrant De Pijp neighbourhood. This borough is home to many high-class boutiques, the gorgeous Sarphatipark and the best brunches in the city. You’ll love trailing by the many examples of the Amsterdam School architecture and sipping cocktails above the city skyline. Trust us, it’s enough to make you weak at the knees.

### The Hipster: Amsterdam Noord

You’re always on the cutting edge, so you’ll love Amsterdam Noord, an up-and-coming area that remains off the beaten track but plays host to a robust bar scene particularly popular with the locals. Noord is home to De Ceuvel, a riverside hangout for forward-looking hipsters that care about urban environmental recovery, sustainable food and good music. Hop off your bike at one of the many artisanal markets and connect with locals about the crafts that inspire them.
