There is something magical about Amsterdam in spring. As the city sheds its winter coat, the first rays sunshine bring life to Amsterdam. The city prepares for its grand anniversary and celebrations are already in full swing. Our Hotel Manager Robbert van Rijsbergen, shares his top 5 recommendations for making the most out of the start of the spring season.
A cultural highlight – Ode to 750 years of Amsterdam at the Rijksmuseum
Step into the history with the Rijksmuseum’s special exhibition: “in the print cabinets of the Rijksmuseum”. This carefully curated collection showcases rare prints, maps, and etchings that illustrate the city’s transformation over the centuries. A must-visit for those who appreciate Amsterdam’s artistic and historical legacy.
Music
Spring in Amsterdam means the return of live music under the open sky. As soon as the first warm days arrive, I love stopping by at the Vondelpark. Embrace the harmonious sounds of spring at the Vondelpark Open-Air Theatre, which kicks off its season in April. Every weekend, musicians and bands perform amidst the park’s lush greenery, offering genres ranging from classical to pop. It is the perfect setting to enjoy music while basking in the gentle spring sun.
Salon boat – A timeless canal experience
One of my favorite ways to experience Amsterdam is from the water. As you glide through Amsterdam’s canals on a classic salon boat, you’ll witness the cityscape adorned with blooming trees and flowers. This experience offers a unique perspective of Amsterdam’s serene beauty of its canals during springtime.
The start of terrace season
With the onset of warmer weather, Amsterdam’s terrace culture comes alive. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a carefully curated cocktail in my hand in our own Secluded Garden. We are delighted to reopen our garden as soon as the weather allows. Guests can enjoy the cuisine of Bar Brasserie OCCO and refreshing beverages while surrounded by the tranquil ambiance of it.
