3. Winter Wonderland

Amsterdam is gorgeous all year long, but when the trees turn gold and the snow starts falling, there is little thing special about the city: Take refuge in a brown cafe for a drink. Don’t forget to grab an “oliebollen” on the road, supposed to bring you luck for the whole year. Not sure what to do? Check our city guide for recommendations per area of Amsterdam.
