Can you believe it’s the last weekend of August already? Woah, time is flying by so so fast! And we can look back to a perfect summer. Drinks on the most beautiful rooftops, watching the best movies in outdoor cinemas and of course a festival every now and then. The Amsterdam summers are my favourite :-) But before we really say goodbye to summer, we still have one more weekend to make the best of it. The last weekend of August as well as the very last weekend of the Parade. Haven’t you been there yet? This is your last chance! And of course yet again plenty of new hotspots have opened. Check out these and more fun to do’s in this Amsterdam Weekend Guide >> Enjoy!
>> Also fun: when talking about last chances, our The Amsterdam City Guide app is almost ready! That means that the beta version is only available for free for a little while now. Check it out! For Android and iOS.
> YOURLBB.TV tip: Of course I couldn’t resist a cold beer on the terrace with these high temperatures. That’s why I visited the 6 x the best beer terraces of Amsterdam for Yourlbb.tv. Watch the short video below and subscribe to our free Youtube channel here to get all updates :-).
