Seasonal Delights
Spend the day in Amsterdam visiting the famous Christmas markets, trying a spot if ice-skating on Rembrandtplein and craning your neck to see the 60ft Christmas tree in the heart of the city on Dam Square. Make your trip extra special with a canal cruise through the city’s winding waterways, taking in the beautiful bridges bedecked with lights and the grand buildings which line the canals.
