Happy weekend! I am still with one leg in the Brazilian vibes of the coastal town of Pipa where I was at the beginning of this week and with the other leg in the dark winter weather here in the Netherlands. Are you going to do something fun on Valentine’s Day? Or are you locking yourself inside with the best on demand series? I myself booked a night away last minute to Rotterdam (if you need inspiration, check this list with our favourite hotels in the Netherlands!). Are you staying in Amsterdam? Then quickly read on for 10 tips for fun things to do, in the new Amsterdam Weekend Guide for February 14, 15 & 16.
| FÏNLEY SUNDAY GUIDE: It’s back! In the new Fïnley Sunday Guide for February, you can find 35 tips for all of the Netherlands. From the coolest (food)markets, to hotspots for Sunday afternoon drinks, all the must-see expositions, and tips for beautiful walks in nature. Mix and match the tips for your perfect Sunday!

10 X THE BEST TIPS FOR THIS WEEKEND IN AMSTERDAM
❶ Do you want to do something special this weekend? Then step aboard the Premium Winter Warmer Cruise from Talisker x Pure Boats and go on a two-hour cruise with unlimited snacks and drinks, including the Talisker Hot Chocolate. Nice detail: Talisker whiskey is made by women only, in the Scottish Isle of Skye. During this cruise you will sail on a small, covered boat and you can book at 1:30 pm or 4:00 pm during the weekend.

❷ Brunch is always a good idea! Do you want to go brunch with friends or your lover this weekend? The Tailor is also organising a special brunch event together with Ketel One on Sunday February 16! During The Tailor’s Blues Brunch you can sit between 12 and 5pm for a boozy buzzing brunch with perfectly made Bloody Marys, a Louisiana style menu full of comfort food and live blues music.

| VALENTINES TIP: Are you familiar with SurpriSeat? This restaurant platform turns going out to dinner into a real exciting event again. I highly recommend trying this out for a date night. For € 26,50 you can book a 2 course dinner in Amsterdam, Utrecht or Rotterdam. The restaurant you will be eating at is kept secret until a couple hours before dinner time. Want to experience this too? Use the code YLBB to get a € 7,50 discount on a surprise dinner for 2. Read more about it in this blogpost or make a reservation here for your own SurpriSeat >>
❸ This weekend the new exhibition about Bali will start at The Tropenmuseum. Nice for when you have plans to go on a holiday to this island and want to know more about the culture. Or to get inspired. Extra fun: In Café De Tropen at the museum you can enjoy Indonesian dishes in style afterwards.
