Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Amsterdam

48 stays · 37 aparthotels and 11 serviced apartments · from €184/night

Amsterdam packs canals, museums and markets into a compact centre where living space is tight, so aparthotels and serviced apartments make a lot of sense here. A kitchen lets you cook with produce from the Albert Cuyp Market or the city's food halls, a separate living area helps on rainy days, and a washing machine matters when it rains on one day in two. They suit families, delegates at the RAI exhibition and conference centre, and anyone staying long enough to settle into a neighbourhood.

Where to stay in Amsterdam

Binnenstad (medieval centre)

  • first-time visitors
  • sightseeing
  • nightlife

The medieval core around Dam Square is the most visited part of the city, with narrow streets, the Red Light District, the bookshops near Spui and the cafés of Nieuwmarkt. Amsterdam Centraal, the hub for trains, eight tram lines and the metro, is on its northern edge. Expect crowds and noise late into the evening.

Canal District (Grachtengordel)

  • couples
  • culture
  • nightlife

Dug in the 17th century for wealthy merchants, the canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and still one of the city's most sought-after addresses. Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein, at its southern edge, are the main nightlife squares, and Leidseplein is the second-largest tram hub with seven lines.

Jordaan

  • long stays
  • independent shops
  • couples

A traditionally working-class quarter that has gone upmarket, the Jordaan is full of galleries, small boutiques and neighbourhood restaurants. It includes the Haarlemmerbuurt shopping streets and the quiet Western Islands, and Centraal Station is a short walk away.

Museum Quarter and De Pijp (Zuid)

  • families
  • museums
  • food markets

Oud-Zuid holds the Museum Quarter and the Vondelpark, with upmarket shops and brasseries around it. Next door, multicultural De Pijp is home to the Albert Cuyp Market and plenty of places to eat. The M52 North–South metro line links the south of the city directly with the centre.

Plantage and Oost

  • families
  • quiet stays
  • long stays

Plantage became a leafy district of gardens, the Artis Zoo, botanical gardens and university buildings when demand for a canal-ring extension never came. Beyond it, Oost is a large, mixed residential area with the Oosterpark and the modern architecture of the Eastern Docklands and IJburg.

Getting around Amsterdam

From Schiphol, trains leave from the station beneath the main airport hall and reach Amsterdam in about 20 minutes; the Amsterdam Travel Ticket bundles a return train journey with unlimited GVB travel for one to three days. Taxis from the airport are expensive, and touts offering rides in the bus station should be ignored.

GVB runs the trams, metro, buses and ferries. You can tap in and out with a contactless bank card or phone (OVpay), or use an OV-chipkaart; always check out at the end of the trip. The tram network has 15 lines and is the main way around the centre, while the M52 North–South line links Noord, Centraal and Zuid. Ferries across the IJ to Amsterdam Noord are free for pedestrians and cyclists.

The centre is very walkable and bike-friendly, with bike lanes on most main roads. Cycling traffic is fast, so if you are not used to it, start on quieter streets, cross tram rails at an angle, and always use a good lock: bicycle theft rates are among the highest in the world.

Living in Amsterdam for longer

For a week or more, GVB's multi-day passes cover from 24 hours up to seven days of unlimited tram, metro and bus travel, and monthly tickets are available for longer stays. Paying with a contactless card is capped per day on GVB services, which keeps costs predictable without buying a pass.

Renting a bike is the most local way to live here, with rental shops at railway stations and around the centre. For food shopping, the Albert Cuyp Market in De Pijp and De Hallen food market in Kinkerbuurt (West) are good weekly stops. Pack waterproofs whatever the season.

When to visit Amsterdam

Amsterdam has a mild oceanic climate influenced by the North Sea, with rain spread through the year. July and August are the warmest months, with daytime averages around 22°C, while January and February bring lows near freezing and short days of about eight hours' daylight around Christmas.

King's Day on 27 April turns the city orange with street markets and parties. June brings the Holland Festival of performing arts, August has Pride Amsterdam and the Grachtenfestival canal concerts, October the Amsterdam Dance Event, and November Museumnacht and the IDFA documentary festival.

The city is small enough to cycle across and well served by trams, metro and free ferries, so a quieter district outside the canal ring can work as well as the old centre. Read what an aparthotel is if the format is new to you, or compare Rotterdam and The Hague, both an easy train ride away.
