Amsterdam’s story stretches back almost one thousand years to the early 13th century. A millennium of infamy, as the city was built and made famous by the sailors, creatives, prostitutes, and buccaneers who called it home.

And while it wasn’t until 1970 that the Hans Brinker Hostel sprung into existence in this melting pot of madness, we feel like we’ve already left our mark. Enclosed by picturesque canals and with the Leidesquare (‘entertainment area’) a mere 5 minutes away, the Hans Brinker Hostel isn’t just at the heart of the action - we helped make it.

So, take a walk to the red light district and crawl your way back. Start the day with some culture at the Rijksmuseum, and finish it in a canal. Immerse yourself into Dutch heritage, or sink into a Dutch beverage at the Hans Brinker bar. But whatever you choose to do, make it memorable. This is your chance to add some infamy to the world’s favourite city.
