The Netherland’s capital city is Amsterdam is famous for its canal, historic buildings, and rich culture. But is it a romantic city? Let me take you on virtual tour and explain how and why Amsterdam can be a perfect place for a romantic getaway.
The Scenic Canals
Among the most beautiful things in Amsterdam is its great many water channels. Not surprisingly, a city with over a hundred kilometres of canals is often referred to as the Venice of the North. Visiting a powerful romantic session is taking a walk along the canal, especially at sunset or in the moonlit night. Another way is to take a water tour around the city using a canal boat to view the city’s structure.
The Architecture
Unfortunately love is not the only angle of the city that has remained stunning, Amsterdam has one of the most beautiful architecture. There is also a rich architecture in the city, for example in the Anne Frank House or the Royal Palace. Strolling hand in hand at the paved streets where the wonderful house with Dutch roof is located is also one of the proofs of the fact that it could not be single-bored when walking here with a backwards. If you’d like to catch a bird’s-eye view of the city head on to the A’DAM Tower to the observation deck or to SkyLounge Amsterdam.
Cultural Delights
Amsterdam is packed with sights and attractions that can also be visited with your partner. Visit art museums including the Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum for some of the finest art in the world, you are guaranteed to marvel at. Ride around the city of Amsterdam and unlock many secrets of the city, or freshen up the day by visiting flower markets, particularly the Flora and the Bloemenmarkt. You might grab a snack at the terrace cafes located right on the sidewalks for a truest gourmet’s date.
Quaint Neighborhoods
Amsterdam is divided into several great districts, and every one of them has its own particular atmosphere. For example, the Jordaan area is famous for its homelike environment, numerous cafes and Art galleries . Another lively district is the De Pijp one where one can find the working -real local- market, bars, which look rather modern, and Sarphatipark. Walking those districts side by side gives lovers the opportunity to enjoy the amorous atmosphere and find some interesting spots for couples.
Seasonal Delights
Amsterdam has different opportunities for lovers at any time of the year. I also learned that, in spring, the surrounding Keukenhof Gardens are filled with tulips in all colours. This makes for a perfect background of holidays mood in which couples can go for a romantic walk in the flowers beds. In winter, it becomes the Christmas city where there are Christmas markets, and ice-skating rinks that give it the typical winter feel.
The Vondelpark
Leave the noise behind and walk to the Vondelpark located in the middle of the city, it is the biggest public park in the city. This large park of 120 acres provides for romantic setting to have a picnic, an interesting cycle tour, to take a break on the grass and simply share time together. The park organizes open air concerts and theater performances during the summer to further the lovers’ theme.
Nightlife and Entertainment
Amsterdam actually has spectacular nightlife, and couples who are looking for a good time should not be left out. Have a candle light dinner in the local restaurant and then take a romantic stroll at night, taking a tour of the canals that glow in the night. Behind this, it is suggested to feel the atmosphere of the night visiting one of the jazz clubs and enjoying the theatrical performance in the Royal Theater Carré.
Conclusion
Amsterdam rides on its water channels, historical structures, and attractions, pleasant atmosphere and dreamy setting earning the city the reputation of a romantic city. If you go for a sightseeing walking in the canals, or getting to know the other districts, or perhaps experiencing art, culture and history in general, Amsterdam is full of opportunities for couples to make some unforgettable memories in a romantic atmosphere.
