No complete guide, but with specific tips to a dirt cheap holiday in Amsterdam
This guide wants to show you how to stretch your holiday budget in Amsterdam. It’s no complete guide to the city, but consists of advice on where to find value for money food, cheap drinks and inexpensive accommodation.

*NEW* What’s happening in Amsterdam in 2010?

Cheap shopping
No trip to Amsterdam is complete without a few visits to the shops and all the great flea markets of the city.

Cheap drinks
Fancy a Heineken? In the Where to drink cheap section you’ll find suggestions for bars where you won’t hesitate to have another round.

Cheap food
There’s plenty of opportunities to fill your stomach for a few euros, and it doesn’t have to be greasy fast food either. Read the suggestions at the very cheap eats page.

Cheap sleep
Amsterdam has a great hostel scene. There’s no denying that the city’s Red Light District and relaxed cannabis laws has been one of the reasons why it is such a popular destination for backpackers. As a result of this there’s no shortage of cheap hostel accommodation. Fancy a private room with bath? There’s tips on cheap hotels & pensions as well.
