Activities in Amsterdam during spring

From tulips to sidewalk cafes

As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, Amsterdam comes to life. In spring, the city transforms into a colorful and energetic destination. Terraces fill up, the parks are in bloom, and everywhere there is a fresh spring vibe. Spring is the season to experience Amsterdam at its most beautiful - and Van der Valk Hotel Amsterdam Amstel is the perfect base for that.

What to do in spring?

There is plenty to do in and around the city in spring. Here are a few popular spring activities:

  • Picnicking or walking in Vondelpark, Amstelpark, or Diemerpark

  • Bike ride along the Amstel to Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, with waterfront terraces along the way

  • Canal cruise, as the city reflects in the spring light

  • Day trip to Keukenhof (easily accessible by car or public transport)

  • Visit to Museumplein or the 9 Streets, where the city is buzzing but not yet too crowded

  • Spring markets and festivals, such as the Pure Market or spring festivals in the park
