Hello,
We will be in AMS on the begining of December. We know that it will be freezing cold. What suggestions do you have for us?
1 - We have ski jackets as waterpdoof and Windproof, is it necessary to put on these not to be cold?
2 - If we want to go in a Window, the jackets and a lof of accesories like hats, gloves etc. will be a problem for us?
3 - If we want to go on a club ( like paradise or sameclub) in there we will be in suits and mini dress, also perhaps in underwear . What is the solution for not to be cold outside from hotel to club and club to hotel?
4 - And other suggestions about protect ourselves from cold?
Thank you so much... :)

I go often in the winter. It's cheaper and less crowded. Christmastime is fun.

It can be bitter at times; windy with sleet. I'm from NYC, so the weather is similar.

Any warm-weather gear is fine; bring scarfs, warm hats, gloves.

Chill. It's a modern city, not the Himalayas.

Park 118 and some coffee shops had signs a few years ago to not wear hoodies or caps when entering. I guess there were issues with robberies. I did not see these signs on my last visit in January.

Thankk you somuxh for your response. I laughed high to "not Himalayas" :)

But on my 3rd question what do you suggest to us?

Quite honestly, I don't know. I'm an old fart. I only go to Park 118 and keep budget escorts in mind if something like that is needed. Haven'tnhit a "club" since I was one of the last mongers at Jan Bik, badly missed and badly underrated. (I think its replacement is four times the cost with the same level of service.)

Clubs are more than happy to answer emails, phone calls, texts . . . contact them for any info you may need.

Thank you so much sir, you are very kind.

One thing you really need to watch out for is ice on the cobbles !!

Very little is done re clearing snow fron the cobbles around de wallen,and after many feet have trampled on the snow, its like a bloody ice rink.

ive been on my arse more times than i care to remember !!

Oh shit, thanks for advice. My wife's ass is so important for me :) Thank you again...

Clubs, at least the ones you would dress up for, have cloakrooms with attendants.

Greenhoff, are you sure it was the ice? ;)

İn the cloakrooms, is there a cabin to undress the jeans off and put the hot ones on?

I know people that visited Amsterdam during Christmas time a few years ago and they told me that it was extremely cold. They ended up just staying inside chilling and barely saw any of the sights. Maybe it was just an unusually cold winter lol

I heard some same experiences about winter in AMS :(

Gloves, gloves, gloves.
Nobody likes cold hands!

It doesn't snow much in December, but the wind is impressive. The rain will blow right up your nose.
Long coats, hat/hood and thick scarves. I'm amazed at what the Dutch can make out of a long, thick scarf.

Walking on the wet cobblestones is bad, but biking is even worse.
I bet I've been on my ass more times than Greenhoff....Thankfully, it was most often after the exchange of 50 Guilders, and not another embarassing bike wreck.

Good news is that rooms, bars and clubs are all used to the winter weather, and are kept very warm.
Paradise has a big locker room. You will have no problem shedding the extra layers there. Same for Showboat.
Sameplace is more of a bar, but there shouldn't be an issue hanging an overcoat.

My biggest issues with the winter are that it takes me 15 minutes to undress, and the girls don't want to spend time chatting at the window. As a result, I stick to longer sessions with known girls.

It is really pretty in the winter. There are no crowds, plenty of choices for places to stay or eat, and a generall calm that is completely lacking in the summer.

Weasel

Thank you for your detailed response :)

A good warm coat is pretty essential; if the ski jackets are comfortable and practical take those, or at least some sort of winter coat. Like nyc Diesel I also bring hat and gloves (I use the hood on my coat instead of a scarf). Weasel is right about the wind - It can make it feel a lot colder than it really is, so a windproof jacket sounds good.

In early December the weather isn't always that cold - it's possible to get a fews days of light snow at that time of year but usually nothing too drastic. The daytime temperatures are usually above freezing unless you happen to arrive during a cold snap, but if you get wet weather during the day and freezing temperatures during the night it can get a little bit icy on some surfaces.

I find the weather is similar to England. Quite often I find that the weather pattern at this time of year is either dry and cold or a bit milder but wet and windy. If you have warm clothing a sunny, cold day can be very pleasant.

Having a coat e.t.c isn't a problem in the windows, the girls won't expect you to be walking around in shorts and T-shirt. There isn't always a lot of space to put your clothes (sometimes I just pile them on my shoes!) but there is quite often a peg or somewhere to hang a coat and the rooms usually have a chair which can be useful to put stuff on.

Hahaha,

After having provoked a few screams, I've learned to warm my ice cold hands under hot running water from the sink; there's one in every room.

One of the best time to go is when its snowing in Amsterdam can be very beautiful picturesque.December will be very cold.
One thing with the nights being dark very early you will get to see more of de wallen lights which is the best time.

Amsterdam is by the sea so can be very cold.If your planning window girls they can take tume out of your session for dressing.
I went early January and was lucky to get home due to snow.

Good luck.

There is a Light Festival on Dec in AMS, a good news came thankfully :)

the best is to go naked. it saves time.

it is cold but not terrible. i've been to amsterdam many times around november and december and wore jeans' sweatshirt and an H&o coat. for me it was enough bus I ahv around 20 kg extra insulation.
