An Amsterdam city break is just the holiday ticket for all ages and all tastes. Whether it's cultural high from its world class museums or another sort of high from the city's notorious 'coffee shops', Amsterdam is a city you can't help but enjoy. Amsterdam is one of Europe's top city break holiday destinations thanks to a unique mix of high art and low life, from cultural capital to cannabis capital it has so much going for it, it's hard to know where to start.

Unlike many holiday destinations, an Amsterdam city break can be enjoyed all year round. The weather is traditionally at its best at Easter time and between July and August. However Amsterdam's climate changes hourly throughout the year and rarely becomes extreme. We wouldn't even rule out mid-winter, as temperatures hardly ever drop below freezing, and sheltering in cosy pubs will allow you to meet real Dutch locals.

With this in mind, more and more travelers are taking advantage of cheaper restaurants, hotels and flights and beginning to favour off-season holidays. The city is every bit as attractive, and there are more wonderful cultural events to entertain and inspire. The cultural calendar is in full swing between September and April, with dates and locations widely available online.

Amsterdam is one of the most colorful cities in the world and why not, where else do you find so many places of interest, famous museums, cozy pubs and fun shops and (flower) markets. It is a city of peaceful streets and canals, historic houses and neighborhoods, an exciting, youthful nightlife, and bustling commerce. It attracts, and keeps attracting, travellers from all over the world.

Amsterdam hardly ever makes the grade in anyone's hit list of Europe's top romantic cities. Paris, Rome, Venice - even London - are likely to leave the Dutch capital in the shade. Some frown on Amsterdam's links with red light sleaze and its drug smoking 'coffee shops'. Others may think Amsterdam just a little too dull for a decent city break. Whatever the reasons, when a romantic weekend city break is on the cards, Amsterdam rarely turns up trumps.

Another thing that you will want to be sure to do on your Amsterdam city break is to take an afternoon and rent bicycles. You can then ride freely around Amsterdam and explore. This is one of the best things that you can do because it will give you a chance to explore the city on your own terms. Just be sure that you take a map, because Amsterdam can be very confusing if you don't know where you are going.
