Located just outside the Museum Quarter and Vondelpark, the Flying Pig Uptown has been recently renovated in 2010 and is a nice alternative to the Flying Pig Downtown, increasingly frantic owners' flagship hostel in the red light district. Uptown you get the party-centered atmosphere with the detoxifying Vondelpark next door – you can even borrow to explore in-line skates. The bar is always full, so the kitchen, where visitors bond over the stove. Not surprisingly, this generates an active space, with guests coming and going at all hours. Warning: the hostel is on its rigid under-35 only political, but if you are beyond this limit, it is unlikely to want to share a room with hordes of rowdy 18-year-olds.
