What's great about Amsterdam during November?
Aside from Spring, Autumn in Amsterdam is a beautiful time of year to visit to see the rich red hues of the trees framing the canal bridges to capture pretty photos for your travels. Visiting Amsterdam in mid-November you can also witness the preparations for the upcoming Christmas festivities, with fairy lights, and confectionary and enjoy the city with fewer tourists. On milder November days, why not visit the seaside areas close to Amsterdam, such as Zandvoort and Ijmuiden to enjoy natural areas, such as Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, where you can see a variety of wildlife, including bison and The Netherlands' largest fallow deer population. Activities such as blokarting (kart sailing) are popular, and there are numerous beach bars still open following the Summer season, where you can visit for a hot chocolate after a walk along the seafront.
