Amsterdam in October
The tourist season is pretty much finished but that doesn’t mean Amsterdam has shut up shop. If you are after a weekend break or a little time away from Britain there’s always plenty to see in Holland’s capital, and P&O Ferries can get you there for a blessedly queue free, albeit chillier holiday.
October brings a couple of exciting events to Amsterdam including this weekend’s ‘Awakenings’ techno festival and a dance event mid-month which serves as both festival and conference, drawing industry professionals and masses of fans to the city. Of course the end of October brings Halloween so watch this blog for updates on the larger parties and organised events to get you to make the most of All Hallows’ Eve.
Most cafes and restaurants will have packed away their outdoor sections, but there’s plenty to draw you indoors besides the colder weather. Some of the classic tourist attractions include the Van Gogh and Rembrandt museums, as well as the Anne Frank Museum. There are also numerous churches dating back over 500 years, concert halls magnificent architecturally and for the shows that go on inside. You can also get a taste of Dutch culture in the cafes and pubs.
For a relaxed mid Autumn getaway, and a chance to see Amsterdam without too much tourist culture, P&O Ferries can get you across to the Netherlands at minimal cost.
