Weekend ideas for April 29, 30 & May 1
I hope you all had an amazing time on Kingsday! The weather was soooo good :-) There are always less things to do the weekend after a national holiday. But of course we also selected the most fun things to do this week for you. This Sunday it’s time again for the Sunday Market at the Westergasfabriek. And you can taste delicious fresh fish at the new location of The Seafood Bar in De Pijp! And all the ladies have to go to the Fabienne Chapot (aka Fab.) sample sale! As you see, there’s something for everyone this weekend! Curious about all the other fun stuff? Check this Amsterdam Weekend Guide! >> Enjoy!
