CLUBBING

Much of the action takes place in the city centre and Southern Canal Belt, but locals may prefer the large, glitzy venues outside town. Most nightclubs close at 4am on Thursday and Sunday and 5am on Friday and Saturday. Looking for the after-party? Keep an eye out for flyers at record shops and clubwear stores.If there’s a bouncer, you may have to pass muster; entry rules are supposed to be posted after a member of the Dutch parliament was recently denied admission. Entry fees can be as much as €20. Others are free, in which case you should slip the doorperson a couple of euros as you leave.
