Hotels near Amsterdam Christmas Market

There are a number of popular Christmas markets in Amsterdam and not all of them are easily accessible or in areas where you might want to stay in Amsterdam.

The Amsterdamsche Kerstmarkt (Amsterdam Christmas Market) and Funky Xmas Market are both held in Westergas, around a 30-minute walk from central Amsterdam. I wouldn’t really recommend staying near there, only because there are a limited number of things to do there in winter, instead, I would look into taking public transport to get there. Ask at your hotel where to get the tram or bus.

On the other hand, the Ice Village is located at Museumplein near the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, Stedelijk Museum and other smaller museums. There are Christmas chalets and a large ice skating rink at the Ice Village. This would be a nice area to stay, especially if you’re interested in visiting a number of these museums.

You might also consider the De Pijp neighbourhood which is the very cool, hipster district and a 20-minute walk to Museumplein. Or stay in the De Wallen neighbourhood which is the medieval centre of Amsterdam where you’ll find all the lovely canals, Dam Square and many popular attractions. De Wallen is also the red light district so keep this in mind when you book.
