A city of countless canals and great artists, Amsterdam has a magical appeal for all kinds of tourists. Fans of ancient architecture and lovers of nightlife will find entertainment here, and in terms of art galleries and museums, only a few European cities can compete with the capital of the Netherlands. The Royal Palace, the Grachtengordel canal area, Madame Tussauds and Van Gogh Museum, Damrak Street are considered to be must-see, but nothing will prevent this list from adding a red light district, Vondel Park or a zoo.
In terms of accommodation, Amsterdam offers options that are not inferior in extravagance to famous coffee shops: only here you can stay in the so-called. "Houseboat" - a real ship, moored to the shore of one of the canals, and feel like a true Amsterdam citizen. True, the cost of such a room cannot be called low: it is at least 220 euros per day. Those who are not ready for such an unusual overnight stay can choose between:
- hostels: prices start from 18-20 euros (bed in a dormitory), but can go up to 130 euros per night (single and double room with private bathroom);
- hotels. The cheapest single room in them costs 50-60 euros, but such rooms are quickly dismantled, and therefore you need to book a hotel in advance. At the opposite price pole, there are high-end establishments like the 5-star Waldorf Astoria with rooms for 900-1000 euros per night;
- serviced and non-serviced apartments (average 250-400 euros per night);
- B&B: from 80 to 600 euros per night depending on location.
As you can see, the cost of accommodation in Amsterdam, subject to certain requirements for comfort, is quite high and reaches an average of 100-120 euros per day, regardless of the season. However, if desired, it can be reduced, especially if the trip is planned in advance. It is enough to compare hotel prices on Hotelhunter using such search parameters as "Economy / Budget" and select the hotel where they are the lowest.
