Amsterdam:
Amsterdam is one of Europe's entertainment capitals, with a colorful nightlife that ranges from bars with live music to casinos; from popular nightclubs to energetic discos, and from movies to eye-opening red light districts.
Most of the cafes, restaurants, nightclubs and discos are located around Lederer Square and Rembrandt Square. This is the center of the nightlife, and even in the early hours of the morning, it's still crowded.
Those who like modern music should take a walk to the ljsbreker. In the cafes there you can look out over the Amstel River and meet computer musicians and software designers. For modern jazz, go to Bimbuis, or take a stroll down Nasstrasse, the "theater street" behind R?ckenstrasse. There, you can experience a unique cultural atmosphere and sit in the café of the theater.
