Travelling to Amsterdam

The capital of Holland, Amsterdam city, is without question one of the most appealing and lovely of European cities and just about any time of year you will find many visitors who have come to avail themselves of the many wonders of Amsterdam. But, even though visitors are common all throughout the year, there are some particular seasons that are better suited for tourists to visit Amsterdam.

And, what is that time of year? Well, if you love to see the tulip fields ablaze with color that stretches out for miles, then those who are in the know say that you should take a trip to Amsterdam around the Easter holiday, or in the months of April and May.

Most people will advise you not to holiday in Amsterdam during March or October, as those months are known to bring almost continual rain to the area.
