Weekends in Amsterdam

Amsterdam Weekends - A unique big city atmosphere full of surprises
Elegant and traditional, yet a multicultural melting pot of unrivalled vibrancy, Amsterdam seems to offer it all. It is a city that is home to miles of tranquil canals, colourful historic buildings and fabulous arts venues. Night time distractions are plentiful and the youthful exuberance of its bars, cafes and clubs are legendary, ensuring a colourful weekend of merriment. Soak up its unique urban atmosphere in flamboyant Dam Square or the busy shopper’s paradise of Leidsestraat or simply cycle along the winding canal pathways and tranquil suburban cobblestone squares. Visitors on a weekend in Amsterdam, or a short break to Amsterdam, cannot fail to admire the architectural riches that comprise everything from rickety 17th century timber framed homes, gothic chapels and multi coloured modernist apartment buildings. 

Weekends in Amsterdam - Glide along serene waterways
A rewarding canal cruise is one of the most enjoyable aspects of an Amsterdam weekend break and is perhaps the best way to appreciate the romance and magic of the city. Gently float past the opulent mansions of Herengracht and glide underneath the enchanting Skinny Bridge. Evening cruises are especially appealing as the city is bathed in bright neon illuminations. Amsterdam weekends of art and culture are as eclectic and inspiring as anywhere where priceless Dutch old masters can be admired along with nights of classical theatre and opera performances. A candlelit dinner for two in one of the intimate floating restaurants will provide a romantic spark to any weekend in Amsterdam and the perfect opportunity to sample some delicious local dishes.
