When to Visit Amsterdam

The Amsterdam weather is typical of most European cities with warm summers and cold winters. Temperatures tend to be at their most pleasant between May and September for those who enjoy the warmth, while rainfall is consistently average all year round. The main tourism season begins around the end of May, so those who want to explore the city without the crowds may want to visit just before June or at the beginning of September while the weather is still warm. There are a few dates that can be extremely busy including Queen’s Day at the end of April, while throughout August many bars and restaurants close as Dutch residents take the month off.
