Yup. It's 16. I'm pretty sure you can go to pubs when you're 16. Me and my friends joke you can get it at 2 years old in foreign countries though. You can pretty much do anything in Amsterdam.
Have fun but take it easy though. If you're younger and haven't had too much experience with alcohol, it's not worth trying to "prove yourself" by drinking loads.

    Yes, the legal drinking age in most European countries varies from 16-18.
    In Holland, the age depends on what you are purchasing. It is 16 to buy from a shop however, you need to be 18 to purchase from a pub.
