Spring brings a fresh energy to Amsterdam. Trees turn green again, tulips are in bloom, and locals flock outside to enjoy the sunshine. Whether you’re in town for business or on a relaxing city trip, these spring tips will help you experience Amsterdam like a true local. All activities are easily accessible from your fully equipped apartment at Cityden Aparthotels – the perfect home base for your spring adventure.

Have a picnic in the Amsterdamse Bos
Looking for a peaceful picnic spot in nature, close to your hotel in Amsterdam? The Amsterdamse Bos is ideal. This urban forest offers wide open meadows, paddle boats, bike paths, and blooming cherry blossoms in early spring. Bring a blanket and some local treats and unwind among the trees. After a relaxing afternoon, head back to your Cityden aparthotel for some well-deserved rest.

Whisper Boat Tour
If you’re looking for peace and a bit of nature, a whisper boat tour through the Amsterdamse Bos is a must. In a silent, electric boat, you glide slowly through narrow waterways, surrounded by trees, reeds, and birdsong. Without the sound of a motor, you experience the forest in a completely different way. You hear the gentle splash of water, the rustle of leaves, maybe even spot a heron or a deer. It’s slow, quiet, and exactly what you need to recharge.

Private boat tour
Spring is the perfect time to rent a private boat with a captain and explore the canals of Amsterdam. Cruise past historic facades and bridges, and discover the city from a new perspective. Bring some snacks or a bottle of wine for a laid-back afternoon on the water.

Visit local markets
A fun way to taste Dutch culture is by visiting one of Amsterdam’s local markets. Close to the city center you’ll find the Albert Cuyp Market and the Noordermarkt – perfect for fresh produce, vintage treasures, and delicious street food.
