Imagine a vibrant, diverse city where you can quench your thirst for fun and excitement as well as history and culture, and you have Amsterdam in a nutshell. This European hub of variety and vitality throbs with a lively social scene and an exhilarating nightlife, and you can also get your fill of its distinct culture, art and history. It is Invasion’s most popular student destination and we even have a second office there, meaning that our Dutch team know the city inside out! They’ll be able to provide you with insider knowledge of the city according to your preferences.

If you’ve ever heard of gezellig – a Dutch quality that roughly translates to an atmosphere of cosiness and conviviality – you’ll know that Amsterdam embodies this. From its quaint canals, bike lanes and lopsided houses to its Brown Cafés, named for their wooden panelling and famous for their homely character, Amsterdam offers this warm feeling of intimacy and comfort. However, make sure you know the difference between cafés and coffee shops because otherwise the brownies you order may have an unusual taste…

During the day, you can sink your teeth into the city’s cultural and historical side with a visit to the Van Gogh museum, Anne Frank’s house, Rijksmuseum or the world’s first fluorescent art museum, sample various Dutch cheeses at the Cheese Museum, take a tour around the Heineken Factory or visit Amsterdam Dungeon if you’re feeling daring enough! We offer special rate discounts for a range of daytime activities so make sure to have a think about what you want to see during your trip.

Of course, Amsterdam has an infamous side that you can also explore – it isn’t known as ‘Sin City’ for nothing. You can pop into the Sex Museum, which details the history of pornography, make a stop at one of the innumerable coffee shops in the city that offer brownies with a kick alongside their coffee, and you can also take a walk through the notorious Red Light District if you’re feeling brave!

Amsterdam has it all: from the cultural and historical to the quirky to the plain bizarre. The city is beautiful and inviting with its picturesque cobble streets, boat-dotted canals, astonishing architecture and its welcoming and sociable people. There is a multitude of things to do in Amsterdam so you will never get bored. On top of all this, Invasion will complete your weekend with one of our legendary bar crawls where you’ll get to experience the best of Amsterdam’s nightlife, making it the perfect end to an unforgettable weekend!
