as the ‘Venice of the North’ for its admirable
canal system, Amsterdam’s
beauty is synonymous to a canvas painting, every spot is beautifully settled
from delightful little streets and atmospheric lanes to art museums and many
architectural marvels.
One

more to offer. Check out these places to hangout when you are in Amsterdam, and
I am quite certain that you won’t
be disappointed. If you have already visited Amsterdam, but want to go again

Amsterdamse
Bos
Amsterdamse
Bos spans almost 1000 hectares, with a vast tract of woods, lakes and meadows
crisscross by-paths. The entire view of the forest is really mesmerizing for
nature lovers, as it will keep you away from the city crowd. During dawn the
place is quiet and beautiful, while the sun beams through the crisscross trees
is a view to capture and remember life long. Spring season is the best time to
visit this place, as when adorned with colorful cherry blossom flowers, the
beauty of the forest glorifies.
Amsterdam
Canal Tour
If
you have few days in Amsterdam, a cruise tour along the canal would offer an
outstanding view of many tourist attractions. You can opt for a day cruise or a
night cruise, and moreover the hop-on-hop-off canal bus and the pizza cruise
are an addition to such cruises. Get romantic down by the canal or visit this
city during Valentine’s
day, as a romantic dinner or a candlelight cruise is best for such tourists.
Many online portals offers canal tour tickets at low prices, but also make sure
you purchase Virgin Atlantic tickets and reservations for Amsterdam.
Brown
Cafes
Dutch
Cafes aren’t really cafes but
they are coffee shops with a pun. These brown cafes showcases cannabis culture
with balanced atmosphere of hustling bar and laid-back bars. The smoke-stained
walls (now you know why the name ‘brown cafe’), dim candle lights,
country music, friendly barman and lots of chilled-beer; these cafes are some
of the most enchanting places to go in Amsterdam.
Take
a Bike Tour
One
of the best thing about Amsterdam is its fresh and clean air. The locals of
this city prefer a bicycle to move around the city. Since, the sound of the
noisy traffic is nowhere in the city, the ambiance is quite peaceful and
soothing. You can even opt for a bike tour to view the entire city or hire a
bike and explore the city on your own.
Spot
Tiny Hidden Houses
You
cannot go inside these houses, but these houses are surely difficult to spot in
Amsterdam. These tiny houses are hidden between the walls, isolated lanes and
many other places. But they are worth if you find it out and make sure to ask a
local about the story behind these mini-houses. And no, we will not tell you!
Floating Flower
Market
Locally known as Bloemenmarkt,
this is the only floating flower market in the world founded in 1862. Widely
recognized as the mother of tulip flowers, Amsterdam floating market is a treat
to eyes, with thousands of colorful flowers and different variety of plants
makes it a great place to visit. The market is always in bloom during all
seasons, but during Christmas the market is decorated beautifully with
Christmas trees and lights.
So
in case you haven’t
seen these places before, alter your travel itinerary and check Virgin Atlantic
flight reservations to Amsterdam.
