Travel and Transportation to Amsterdam

When to visit Amsterdam?

The best season to visit the Netherlands is generally summer, from June to August. During this period, temperatures are pleasant, fluctuating between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius. Days are longer, which means more time to explore the beautiful Dutch cities, national parks and tulip fields. Temperatures are ideal for cycling along the canals, strolling through the lively streets of Amsterdam or enjoying the summer activities organized throughout the country.

On the other hand, the worst season to travel in the Netherlands is winter, from December to February. Temperatures are cold, sometimes dropping below freezing. It often rains and the days are short, which can limit the possibilities for outdoor visits. Nevertheless, if you like the atmosphere of winter and Christmas markets, this is a good time to visit. Dutch cities are decked out in festive lights and decorations, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.
