Flying Pig Uptown Hostel in Amsterdam

Flying Pig Uptown in Amsterdam

Vossiusstraat 46,

Property Description

As the original Flying Pig hostel, we can’t wait to welcome you again! We are located perfectly central in between the museum- and fashion district, the park and Leidseplein where the best concert-halls, clubs, bars and coffee shops are and most locals go out. You’ll get that real Amsterdam feel and are still close enough to the red light district, which is only a 15-minute walk

This spring and summer you can enjoy Amsterdam’s famous green grass in the beautiful Vondelpark, right outside the Flying Pig Uptown, for drinks, smokes and picnics. Check out the free musical and cultural performances on the park stage or play games with your (new) friends on your bare feet.

The Pig has been world famous for its laidback atmosphere, a hostel bar that everyone keeps talking about and friendly helpful staff. We have a guest kitchen and bar with indoor smoking area, where you will meet lots of people. Free breakfast, linen and internet; one price covers all!

If you are in for some culture, the van Gogh museum and the Rijksmuseum (with the ‘Nachtwacht’) are just around the corner, same as the beautiful Concert Building and the ‘I Amsterdam’ letters. Do you want to explore the Red Light District, some historic sites or Chinatown? Just take a stroll, everything is within walking distance. Public transport is close by too.

But there’s always more: go shopping at one of the local markets (such as the Albert Cuijp in the Pijp area) or the ‘9 little streets’, drink a beer at the Amsterdam Heineken Museum or have a wild night out in the so-called pop temple the Paradiso, within crawling-home distance . You can borrow some free hostel skates and share a ‘smoke’, drink and a blanket with your (new made) friends on the green grass of the famous Vondelpark. Laugh your head off at one of the comedy clubs on the Leidseplein or visit other local areas of the city.
