The best things to do in Lesbian Amsterdam

We might be biased, as we are locals ourselves. But what’s better than getting tips from locals?! This list includes the popular local attractions and some of our favorite insider tips. 

Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands, and it’s most famous for its beautiful canals, stunning bridges, cute gingerbread houses, cobblestone streets, coffee shops (not for coffee!), welcoming people, and many bicycles.

Gay Amsterdam – The Nomadic Boys

Gay Amsterdam - The Nomadic Boys

We love visiting gay Amsterdam. Whether it’s for a city break, romantic weekend or a party, we always know we’re going to have a terrific time.

Whilst Amsterdam is most famous for its “coffeeshops” where you can smoke joints legally, it is also culturally rich with world-class museums and has the most distinctive urban landscape. The city is dominated by water, with 165 canals, around 500 bridges, lots of cute narrow cobblestone streets and many many many bicycles! It’s so picturesque that the network of canals in the 17th-century historic old town (called the “Canal Ring“) was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.

The city is also super gay, which is unsurprising given that it is the capital city of one of the most queer friendly countries in the world. It is one of the few places where we feel comfortable walking the streets holding hands and don’t feel like we first have to look over our shoulders to do that safety check! It also has some fantastic parties, plenty of LGBTQ+ hangouts, lots of events and the most unpronounceable gay village ever! We’ve summarised it all right here in our detailed gay Amsterdam travel guide.

First time in Gay Amsterdam?

One of our favourite ways to get a feel of Amsterdam is on a gay tour, in particular the ones offered by Gaily. They do a series of different tours in Amsterdam which we’ve tried, love and highly recommend, especially to first-timers. A local will take your hand and guide you through the touristic highlights of the city by day and will also show you around the Reguliersdwarsstraat scene by night.

Kinky Amsterdam Hotels – The Nomadic Boys

Amsterdam is a place full of diversity and sexual acceptance, one of the main reasons we love visiting so much. Some people may think that travelling around the Red Light District and all it has to offer is as naughty as it gets. But there are plenty of hidden treasures dotted around the capital just waiting to be enjoyed!

We have only had pleasurable experiences when choosing Amsterdam hotels to stay in, but these hotels are slightly different. Below is our list of five of the best and most outrageous (in a good way) kinky, sex hotels in Amsterdam for pure pleasure-seekers.

THE KINKY SUITE AMSTERDAM

We thought we’d start strong! The Suite is an incredible 3-floor rental apartment slap bang in the middle of the Red Light District.

Before we get into more detail of the vast sexual instruments and equipment The Suite has available to guests, it also seems important to highlight how beautiful the décor actually is inside the apartment.
