Romantic things to do Amsterdam

Best time to visit Amsterdam

The best time to visit Amsterdam is during the spring (April to May) and early autumn (September to October) months. In spring, Amsterdam is particularly enchanting with blooming tulips and mild temperatures, ranging from 48°F to 66°F (9°C to 19°C), making it perfect for exploring the city's parks, canals, and outdoor attractions. Early autumn offers similar pleasant weather and fewer tourists, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

 

While summer (June to August) brings warmer temperatures and longer daylight hours, it also attracts more crowds and higher accommodation rates. Winter (December to February) is cold and damp, but the city's festive atmosphere and charming holiday lights provide a cozy, picturesque experience. Overall, spring and early autumn offer the best balance of good weather, fewer crowds, and vibrant city life.
