New Year in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is perfect to soak up the festive atmosphere and all that European culture brings with it around this special time of the year.
There are many activities waiting for you during your mini cruise. Visit one of Amsterdam’s many museums, which keep their doors open over the holidays and experience Museum Square which gets transformed into a magical Christmas village. Feel the festive cheer while walking along the canals and take in the beauty of the twinkling lights with a warming mug of glühwein which you will find waiting for you on every corner.
Ice skating on Rembrandtplein is returning this year, offering a cozy skating rink, from where you can spot this year’s Christmas tree in Dam Square!
Worth a try are little Dutch treasures of the seasonal cuisine such as oliebollen, small, iced doughnuts, which are said to ward off evil spirits. And not to forget appelflappen, classic Dutch apple fritters that will be easy to find here in December.
