Amsterdam by night is simply irresistible. The city can be the venue for a romantic stroll, with the lights of the bridges and old houses reflected in the canals, or a night hopping from buzzing bar to bar. In the day, there’s excellent shopping, set against an unmistakable backdrop of cobbled streets, glorious architecture and famous canals. Whether you like to window shop as you wander, or shop ‘til you drop, you won’t find many more enjoyable places to do it.
