Amsterdam Holidays

Windmills, clogs, riverboats, bike rides through blooming gardens; Amsterdam conjures a few iconic images. So why not experience them for yourself? Take a leisurely canal cruise to admire the 17th-century architecture, charming houseboats, and scenic bridges. For a more intimate experience, rent a bike or join a guided tour to explore the narrow streets and hidden corners along the waterways. Head to the Bloemenmarkt, the world's only floating flower market to find a dazzling array of tulips, daffodils, and other blooms or take a day trip to Keukenhof Gardens and experience a kaleidoscope of colour and fragrance.

Amsterdam is home to some of the world's most renowned museums. Marvel at works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, and other Dutch masters at The Rijksmuseum. Just a short walk away, the Museum houses the largest collection of Vincent van Gogh's works, providing a fascinating insight into the artist's life and creative genius. For a powerful and moving experience, visit the Anne Frank House and take a poignant look back at the Holocaust through the eyes of a young girl. Explore the opulent Royal Palace on Dam Square, see the iconic windmills on a day trip beyond the canals, experience the city's unique extracurriculars, and take home a pair of traditional clogs to remember your time in The Dam.

Amsterdam holidays are all about taking it easy. With a thriving café culture, Amsterdam is the perfect place to relax with a cup of coffee or a locally brewed beer in a cosy brown café or enjoy a leisurely brunch along the scenic canals soaking up the flavours of the city. For those who enjoy the neon nightlife, the city also offers an eclectic mix of bars, from speakeasies and rooftop lounges to craft beer bars and wine-tasting rooms. But to experience the true nature of the Netherlands head to one of Amsterdam’s most famous street markets - the Albert Cuyp Market. With fresh produce, flowers, clothing, and souvenirs around every corner, get lost among a sea of stalls. Here, traditional Dutch dishes like bitterballen (savoury meatballs), stroopwafels (syrup-filled waffle cookies), and herring are must-tries.
