December is a great month for holidays because it's when most people take their annual holidays and also because of Christmas and the New Year. You can always make use of your extra miles and take a trip someplace exciting.
Amsterdam short breaks will suit virtually everybody as there is a broad spectrum of recreational and cultural sights. Along with the canals and fascinating old buildings, there is the Van Gogh Museum, Rijksmuseum, and Stedelijk Museum. All located in the Museumplein (Museum quarter), it is hard to find a bad word to say about any of them. The only problem is that the many other treasures hidden between the cafes and stylish hotels are often missed by tourists blinded by the big three.
The best way to get around to see all of the museums is the museum canal boat, or the Museumboot as it is called in Amsterdam. Tourist information centres will have details of prices and times.
Amsterdam is also well-known for it's red-light district in the de Wallen area, which is a number of alleyways intertwined all in the oldest part of the city.
And, after a hard day's shopping, you can then relax and enjoy yourself with the many wintry activities that take place. For instance, why not visit Amsterdam's Theater Carre, which is host to the famous Wereldkerstcircus (World Christmas Circus) for an evening packed full of entertainment.
Amsterdam city break can be enjoyed all year round. The weather is traditionally at its best at Easter,Christmas and New Year time. However Amsterdam's climate changes hourly throughout the year and rarely becomes extreme. We wouldn't even rule out mid-winter, as temperatures hardly ever drop below freezing, and sheltering in cosy pubs will allow you to meet real Dutch locals.
Beautiful charming garden surrounded by old houses, also homes the oldest house in Amsterdam. In the centre of the lawn you will also discover a beautiful medieval church.
