Amsterdam

Amsterdam is one of the most popular destinations in Europe, and with good reason, it’s one pretty epic city!
Brimming with amazing culture, incredible nightlife, world-class museums and historical gems, this is one city not to miss when thinking of a European city break.

Where to stay? 


One things that’s really cool about Amsterdam is that it’s a city for everyone, especially when it comes to a place to rest your head! No matter what you’re looking for luxury, chic, modern or classic – you’ll definitely find a comfy bed that’s right for you. One of the coolest hotels that we’ve stayed at whist in Amsterdam has to be the CitizenM

Firstly, they’re great for being affordable but at the same time, pretty plush… they have one futuristic multi-colour rain showers and a bed that’s fit for a king or queen (just look how big it is). And don’t get me started on the plethora of free movies they have here too (and we’re not talking movies from the 90s either – there are movies from the last 12 months and some pretty brilliant classics).

CitizenM also have early check in (10am – to check in even before 10am you’d have to pay a small fee) and you can check out of your room as late as 8pm (again, at a small fee)..

What are the main sites to see?
