Did you also had another fine work week? At Yourlbb it was one big party at the office this week. Because every day we received so much fun tips to do in Amsterdam! I mean, from this Thursday night on you can watch the best films in the outdoor cinema in the Vondelpark. How cool?! And also in the weekend there’s plenty of fun to do. This edition of the Amsterdam Weekend Guide is in fact pretty well stocked! On Saturday, for example, you can go dancing at A Day At The Park and on Sunday you can recharge your battery while enjoying delicious fresh prawns at Gamba Gang at Razmataz. Sounds good, right? Check out these and more fun to do’s in the Amsterdam Weekend Guide >> Enjoy!
