5Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Amsterdam truly shines in the springtime! For the best views of the iconic tulip bloom, make sure you arrive in early spring to see them in their full glory.

There’s a local event or quirky site to visit every single day in the city, so make sure to check out what’s on offer before you leave, or even plan your visit around one of the many exciting festivals (such as the coffee festival in March or the massive celebration of King’s Day in April).
