Location in Amsterdam

Forget about buses when staying at St. Christopher’s as you’re right where all the action is. The Red Light District is in your back yard and you’re surrounded by pubs, restaurants and cafes. The Canal Cruises launch just around the corner and a whole host of museums are just minutes away. Also close by is the Dam Square, a great place to get your bearing for finding your way to Madame Tussard’s Wax Museum, the Royal Palace, the Niewe Kerk and those quirky little side streets loaded with headshops, coffee shops and trippy, hippie shops. Or take a rest by the WWII monument and watch the world pass you by.
