2Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Amsterdam has an abundance of luxury restaurants, nightclubs, which can influence your decision when it comes to choosing a destination for this Christmas.
The legend of Santa Claus is strong in the Dutch capital. In Amsterdam, 16th- and 17th-century houses are adorned with lights in early December.
Make sure you don’t miss the locals who trade their bikes or noren (long-bladed ice skates) and tour the city’s outdoor rinks.
Stroll the streets within the central canal ring where you’ll find welcoming bars which will make your Christmas memorable.
And while you’re here, consider spending New Year’s Eve too, in the Dam or Nieuwmarkt squares. Champagne and fireworks. Sounds good to us!
