You could even take a road trip around the city, or a boat cruise along the Amsterdam canals, passing the spectacular buildings and historic architecture. If you’re thinking of visiting the Dutch capital this year with your loved one, check out some of the top Amsterdam Christmas attractions below!
Amsterdam Canal Cruises
Rated as one of the major attractions in Amsterdam, the city canal cruises are a unique way to experience the Dutch capital, with both classic and modern boats touring the waters. Furthermore, both offer tasty Dutch cuisine and other various dining options, including private tables. With over 3 million passengers visiting Amsterdam every year, the canal cruises are always very busy, so it’s best to book online for cheaper tickets and faster service.
Visit the Beatrixpark
If you are looking for a quiet place away from the vibrant and jamming the streets of Amsterdam, then visiting the Beatrixpark with your loved one is a great way to spend some quality time together. Not only is there spectacular scenery to admire, but there are also festive fun fares – and some years even reindeer! The trees, flowers and winter chill will no doubt offer the perfect atmosphere for a romantic day out, and to make your trip more memorable, why not make a picnic out of it, and pack some wine and treats.
Strand West Beach
Strand West Beach is open all year round for tourists and locals alike, however outdoor activities like swimming are restricted to warmer times of the year. Thankfully, you can still sip cocktails or snack tapas with your loved one at Strand West Beach, and the sands have gained a reputation as some of the cleanest in Europe. The food menu is also very diverse, offering cuisines from all over France, Germany and Holland, and because the beach is located just a few minutes away from Amsterdam’s central business district, it makes the perfect destination for young lovers visiting Amsterdam for the first time. No one likes to pay over the odds for their flights, especially within Europe, so compare airfares with Cheapflights and get a great deal!

The Rarebird Amsterdam shops are easily some of the best places to tour in the city with your loved one, especially if you enjoy shopping sprees! With typical Dutch souvenirs selling at relatively low prices, wonderful street food and bustling Christmas shoppers around every corner, there’s something for everyone at Rarebird.
