Soak Up Outdoor Attractions In The Dutch Capital With Flights To Amsterdam This Summer
The city of Amsterdam bursts with opportunities to enjoy activities outdoors, from its green spaces to its beautiful waterways. Summer is a great time to visit and brings with it a range of festivals and events. Of particular note is the SAIL Amsterdam festival, which glides into town only once every five years. The festival’s tall ships are accompanied by a symphony of music and plenty of fun. If you’re thinking of booking one of the many affordable flights to Amsterdam currently available, then you will find a warm welcome awaiting you in the city. Here are five ways to make the most of your trip:
Sail into Amsterdam
Step off your flight to Amsterdam and onto a tall ship, as The Netherlands’ biggest festival drifts into the capital in August. SAIL Amsterdam celebrates tall ships, sailing heritage craft, modern and naval ships and replicas. The celebrations open with an impressive tall ship Parade. The fun continues with the opportunity to explore the docked ships and enjoy live music.
Experience Nature with a Wetlands Safari
Hop in a canoe and take a scenic nature tour with Wetlands Safari, who steer you through the wetlands north of the city. You’ll pass by 17th-century villages, windmills, reeds and wildlife. The knowledgeable guides have over 15 years of experience and the excursion includes a picnic lunch.
Pedal Your Way Around Vondelpark
Vondelpark oozes relaxation and fun when it’s warm – and cycling its easy, mellow loop never gets banal. As you pedal past picturesque scenery, you’ll get a glimpse of Amsterdam life: locals barbequing on the lawn, musicians playing guitars and children playing. It’s as if the whole city is here, enjoying themselves in the sunshine.
Enjoy Outdoor Performances
Uitmarkt from the 27th to 29th of August is the official opener to Amsterdam’s cultural season. Take in theatre, opera, dance and orchestras with a view of the sky at one of the three main outdoor stages at Vondelpark, Leidseplein and Museumplein. Or catch more open-air theatre and live music at Vondelpark’s Open Air Theater, which takes place every weekend until the end of August.
Visit the Botanical Garden
Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam’s Botanical Garden in the Plantage neighbourhood, beckons during clement weather. Breathe in the fragrant scents and marvel at the swirls of colour and intriguing plant life. Highlights include the dune bed, which features vegetation from North Holland, and the swamp plants.
So, no matter what your tastes when it comes to the outdoors – whether you prefer to jump in a canoe, or keep your feet firmly on dry land, Amsterdam can oblige. Arrange affordable flights to Amsterdam for yourself and your friends and experience all this beautiful city has to offer.
