Celebrating Diversity: Gay Pride in Amsterdam
Every year, the vibrant city of Amsterdam bursts into a spectrum of colours, joy, and acceptance during the annual Gay Pride celebrations. This event, also known as Amsterdam Pride, is a testament to the city’s unwavering commitment to inclusivity, diversity, and equality.
At City Hotel, we are proud to be part of a city that embraces people of all genders, sexual orientations, and identities. As Amsterdam transforms into a rainbow paradise, we invite you to join us in commemorating love, solidarity, and the ongoing struggle for LGBTQ+ rights.
The heart of the festivities is the iconic Canal Parade, where beautifully adorned boats sail through Amsterdam’s picturesque waterways, showcasing creativity, activism, and a spirit of liberation. It’s a sight to behold, as locals and visitors alike line the canals, cheering on the participants and celebrating the freedom to love whomever they choose.
In addition to the Canal Parade, the city comes alive with an array of events, from parties and performances to art exhibitions and film screenings, all dedicated to promoting LGBTQ+ visibility and empowerment. The streets pulsate with energy as revellers from around the world come together to honour the progress made in the fight for equality and to renew their commitment to a future where everyone can live authentically and without fear.
Amsterdam Pride is not just a celebration; it’s a symbol of resilience and solidarity. It serves as a reminder that the struggle for LGBTQ+ rights is far from over, and that we must continue to stand up against discrimination and injustice wherever it exists.

Our central location provides the perfect base for exploring all that Amsterdam has to offer during this special time, ensuring that your stay with us is as unforgettable as the celebrations themselves.
