Amsterdam blooms into life in spring! Wander along the picturesque canals lined with historic houses and vibrant tulips. Cycle through the stunning Vondelpark or take a leisurely stroll in the Jordaan district, where artisan boutiques await. Treat yourself to a coffee and a slice of freshly baked apple pie at a charming cafe, or enjoy the buzz of outdoor terraces as you soak up the lively atmosphere.
For art and history lovers, the iconic Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum offer treasures that inspire, while the Anne Frank House provides a moment of reflection.
