Amsterdam Weekend Guide for August 31, September 1 and 2

33 tips for this weekend in the amsterdam weekend guide

Oh my, time really does fly! This weekend is already the first weekend of September and I’m afraid it’s really time to say goodbye to Summer. But to be fair, we didn’t have much to complain about when it comes to Summer weather this year ;-). Personally, I can’t get enough of the sun and that’s why I’m going to a sunny destination – I’m going to Marrakech for a week! So excited for that and I also can’t wait to see the city. But don’t get too jealous, because there are lots of things to do in Amsterdam. Like the show De Meeuw in the Amsterdamse Bos, a street food festival, the Kloffie Market and this is already the last weekend of De Parade! And this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to our weekend tips ;-).

Do you already have plans for the weekend? Here’s a brand new weekend guide for you including 33 tips that you definitely will want to check out. Because… plans are always bound to change! Have fun with the tips from the Amsterdam Weekend Guide for August 31, September 1 and 2.

HAPPY WEEKEND! <3
