33 things you want to do this weekend in Amsterdam!

YES, it’s the weekend! And what a difference this is compared to last weekend. It was just last Saturday that we got to go ice skating on the canals, and now it’s above 10 degrees Celsius. So the ice skates can be buried away again, but there are lots of other things to do this weekend! For instance, this week it’s the week without meat but also the Amsterdam Coffee Festival and HEMA opened a pop-up store for easter eggs and more! These and many more tips can be found in this Amsterdam Weekend Guide for March 9, 10 and 11!

HAPPY WEEKEND! <3
