8. De Hallen Amsterdam
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 799 reviews
The centre for media, culture, fashion, food and crafts with a libary, hotel, cinema, local markt and foodhall. The building where once the first electric trams in Amsterdam were serviced has been granted a new life. In the former tram depot, an official monument built between 1902 and 1928, you now find De Hallen Amsterdam. Right in the middle of the 19th century district Amsterdam West.

We stumbled upon De Hallen by accident. The market bit in the main hall is cute and quirky. The day we visited the vendors had a mix of art and books and made-in-Amsterdam stuff. But the real draw card for us was the food hall, which is really cool. Lots of different vendors, serving everything from yogurt to cocktails, and Spanish to Vietnamese. Good vibes, fun music, excellent food! We particularly LOVED the Tacos from Taqueria Lima.

This area in the oldest part of Amsterdam is known for the red neon windows that display barely-dressed prostitutes advertising their services; it's all perfectly acceptable as long as it stays inside this designated area of the city.

This is fabulous to see and explore, we as a couple felt safe everywhere, the ladies do not allow any pics at all even selfies in the area, it is very busy, best to go after dark for full effect, deffo visit the museums there as they are fab, the €2 peep shows are also a must, visit the banana bar for an eye opener and the bulldog for a drink to sit and watch it all go by, it's a must when you go to Amsterdam.
