About Amsterdam and its homosexual life
Amsterdam had been a powerful city of maritime trade fame for many centuries. In the second half of the 20th century it was considered the gay capital of Europe, due to the beauty of the town and due to the city's liberal atmosphere which was far ahead of most other European cities and countries at that time.
As our Amsterdam Gay Maps demonstrate, there are several same-sex attracted areas in Amsterdam, all of them not really far from each other. First of all you got the street with the unpronounceable name, Reguliersdwarsstraat, which is rather mainstream and quite busy at the weekend. Nearby are the Amstel street and Kerkstraat. And finally there are Warmoesstraat and Zeedijk in the very cente
