Cheap Weekend in Amsterdam

Amsterdam's celebrated central park; great for outdoor picnics on the grass, beer terraces, and watching thousands of cyclists cruise by.

Take the free scenic ferry from Centraal across the IJ to explore huge converted shipping warehouses covered in street art, flea markets, and waterfront beaches.

Bohemian neighborhood filled with hip brunch spots, natural wine bars, and Europe's longest street market with hot stroopwafels.

Cozy multi-room canal house with vintage chandeliers and eccentric mixologists serving themed drinks paired with sliders and bites.

Founded by a surgeon; atmospheric time capsule playing soft jazz under candlelight, surrounded by antique clocks and rare malt whiskies.

Rustic waterfront wooden cabin with a massive outdoor deck directly on the water; grab a craft beer and dangle your feet over the canal.

Fresh Dutch potatoes fried to crispy gold perfection, topped with freshly grated mature Beemster cheese and homemade parmesan truffle mayo.

Walls covered in thousands of framed photos of mothers from around the world; order the traditional *Stamppot* (mashed potatoes with vegetables, sausage, and pork belly).

Housed in a former tram depot in Oud-West; over 20 artisanal food stands selling bitterballen, banh mi, dim sum, and wood-fired flatbreads.
