Judging by the amount of articles I have on the blog about spring in Amsterdam, this must be my favourite season. The joy brought by the longer spring days is always a great one. Surviving another dark Dutch winter feels almost like an accomplishment. Everything comes back to life, everything looks better under the sun. But let’s see why I love spring so much, what does this season brings with it that makes it the best time to be in Amsterdam?

Blue skies and more sunny days:

Flowers. Lots of flowers everywhere:

Cherry blossoms. In Amsterdamse Bos, Westerpark, and all over the city.

Trips to the sea:

Spring rain:

The start of outdoor festivals:

Fresh green over the canals:

The spring snow:

More time spent outside:

I hope I have inspired you to make the most out of this spring — I know I will!
