  1. one of our favourite city in Europe.. its never a dull place even though we visited for so many times.. even our children love it… especially when they go on a bicycle ride during winter… 🙂

  2. I’d love to see this place in the winter guys. My wife visited during warmer months and adored the place. I’d enjoy seeing it blanketed in snow. Nice little change up from the hot, steamy places I tend to visit in SE Asia and Central America as I am blogging from paradise 🙂

  3. Hi good morning!
    I’m from the Philippines. My family is planning to visit Amsterdam Jan 1-5, 2018 coming from Paris and Brussels. This is our first time to travel Europe. With me is my husband and 2 sons 17 and 21 yrs old. Will it be snowing by that time? We would welcome any tips or suggestions.

    Thanks
    Edna

    • Hello Edna,
      We visited Amsterdam on the first week of January and got 2 nights of snow 🙂 It’s hard to predict the snow but for sure it will be very cold!
      Enjoy your travels!

  4. Very happy to have found this post. I am researching Amsterdam for a trip in December. This destination was my 21 years old request and I was reluctant because its winter time, but I am now looking forward to seeing Amsterdam. You provided quite a bit of helpful information

  5. Good read, there’s some great tips in here! 🙂

    But just a heads up it’s not actually ‘legal’ to smoke weed in the streets here, although it is quite liberal here. It’s also frowned upon by locals and can be quite disrespectful if ppl are smoking right next to you when you’re trying to have lunch.

    • Hi Alicia,
      I meant that you are allowed to smoke within the coffeeshop premises, just re wrote to make it clear 😉
      And agreed that is disrespectful.
      Cheers,

  6. I will be landing in Amsterdam on Christmas day this year, staying for two days before leaving for Paris. This Article is great! I am travelling alone, and it is my first time overseas, so this will be a big help! Thank you.

  7. Hi guys,
    We are planning to visit Amsterdam for 2 days during the first week of December. We are family of four, with two girls, 1yr and 4 yr…. is not too cold for the girls???. We are from Mexico…. We visited Europe with my oldest girl when she was 1yr during Winter (February) but we were in Madrid, South of italy and the coldest city was Paris, I’m taking Paris weather in February as reference.
    I’ll appreciate your comments….

  8. Winter in Netherlands are quite warm and it doesn’t snow too much. That why last year I traveled to Warsaw. Here I can really feel this magical Christmas atmosphere in the town covered with snow and beautiful decorations all around the streets. Moreover I spend super cool NYE night in New Orleans Club. One of the best clubs I’ve ever been to.

  9. Thanks for the good info 🙂
    I will be in Amsterdam from 20Dec-24Dec. So wondering if a Palladium boots with water resistant spray is good enough walking in the city?

  10. I absolutely love your articles! Gets me so excited about planning a trip to Amsterdam 😀
    Your tips and experiences are SOO helpful
