Amsterdam construction
Are there any particularly noisey/disrupted areas currently under construction? Visiting October 2011. Should lodging be avoided in any certain area/neighborhood that is under construction?
Thank you
Thank you

There is still a lot of work going on for the new noord-zuid metro line - around the station, and along Rokin and Vijzelstraat are the main construction areas.
Marnixstraat has some road works going on until November too.
But neither should affect you.
There was a big fire yesterday on Keizersgracht which destroyed a building there - that could be the site of work by October.
Of course there could be other things in the planning which will show up later, but I wouldn't worry unduly about it.
There is no major building work going on in the centre - other than possibly that one building on the Keizersgracht,.

Herengracht is a quiet canal with about the only noise IME being that of speeding taxis scooting along the narrow streets lining each side of the canal. A pretty pretty location and a great location - the farther away from Central Station the better as trains roll thru it day and night and inevitably make some noise.
