Third week of January and, against all odds, we are back outside.
The initial hibernation has worn off, the novelty of staying in has faded, and Amsterdam is slowly waking up again. The streets are still cold, but the city is moving and so are we. If you have been wondering what to do this weekend in Amsterdam, consider this your sign.
From January 23 to 25, the city offers a mix of things that actually feel worth leaving the house for. Restaurant happenings that warm you from the inside out, cultural programming that gives your brain something to chew on, fundraisers that turn showing up into something meaningful, and yes, the occasional party that reminds you you are a social being.
Consider this your nudge to re enter the world. No pressure, no overcommitment, just a guide to what to do this weekend in Amsterdam if you feel like hitting the streets again.
