Amsterdam gay
Welcome to Amsterdam, Gay Way to Europe
Amsterdam is probably the gayest city in Europe, with something to offer everyone. Gay Games Amsterdam 1998 left us with a new sense of pride and a stronger community that we’re eager to share with visitors from around the world. Amsterdam offers almost 100 gay bars, discos, shops and cafes, some of the world’s best and weirdest museums, classic architecture, and 350 coffeeshops, all within walking distance from Central Station. Combine that with the unique spirit of tolerance and freedom of the Netherlands, and that’s why Mayor Schelto Patijn proudly calls Amsterdam "the gay way to Europe". While Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands, you don’t have to bother trying to learn the difficult language, Holland is one of the only countries in continental Europe where most natives speak English fluently. Homosexuality is legal in the Netherlands. Gays and lesbians even won the right to get legally married this year.
The Netherlands, and Amsterdam in particular, has an impressive ‘gay’ reputation to keep. The first gay wedding in the world was held here, in Amsterdam, after which many other cities and countries followed suit, an example to the world which I’m proud of. The Gay Games that were held here were also a great success.
Amsterdam has many gay possibilities. In our website it’s easy to find a guide to help you on your way to find relaxation, restaurants, museums and so forth.
