Flying Pig Uptown

The Pig is a strictly over-18s backpacker hostel, world-famous for its laid back atmosphere, private guests-only bar, indoor smoking room and friendly, helpful staff. This lively bar has regular event nights like beer pong tournaments and karaoke along with the cheapest beer in the city and daily drinks specials! Here, you'll meet plenty of fellow travellers soaking up the Amsterdam vibe.

Converted from a cosy Amsterdam townhouse, The Flying Pig has plenty of charm spread over 6 floors. All rooms are accessed via the main staircase - there is no elevator so be prepared for a climb!

The Flying Pig Uptown provides a comfy, freshly made bed on arrival, free use of the reception safe for small valuables, free Wi-Fi throughout the building and a secure 24-hour reception with no night curfews or lockout. Access is by keycard.

All beds come equipped with a reading light and individual lockers in the rooms (bring your own padlock or buy one at reception for 5 EUR). It is advised to bring your own towel, but if you forget, you can rent one for just €2. Please make sure to return the towel after use.

There are supermarkets nearby if you want to cook yourself a gourmet meal in the guest kitchen or treat yourself to the delicious pizzas available at the bar! There is a refreshing continental breakfast buffet available every morning for just €8 a day which can be purchased on the day or €7 per day if booked in advance on check-in.

Located perfectly central in-between the museum and fashion district, the Vondelpark 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 25-minute walk.

Take a stroll through Amsterdam's famous park: the beautiful Vondelpark, right outside the hostel doors - enjoy some drinks, smokes, or have a picnic. You can also check out the free musical and cultural performances on the park stage or play games with your (new) friends out on the open grassy areas.

If you're in for some culture, the Van Gogh, Stedelijk and Rijksmuseum are just around the corner, same as the beautiful Concert Building. 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 'Nine Little Streets', drink a beer at the Amsterdam Heineken Experience or the numerous craft breweries like Brouwerij’ Het Ij or Gebrouwen Door Vrouwen or have a wild night out in the pop temple Paradiso, within crawling-home distance.
