The best time of year to visit Amsterdam is from late spring to early fall.
Weather in Amsterdam is very cold in the winter and the chill can last from mid autumn well into early spring.
Staring in May the weather in Amsterdam starts to warm up, and visitors can enjoy a trip to Keukenhof Gardens to see the famous tulip fields that Holland is so famous for. This makes May the best time of year to visit Amsterdam.
In the summer Amsterdam comes alive with boats along the canals, bicycles in the city and through the surrounding countryside, and people enjoying the Vondelpark and Amsterdam’s vibrant outdoor cafe scene.
In early autumn Amsterdam quiets down from the high tourist season of summer, and is a pleasant time to enjoy the city with warm weather and fewer crowds.
