10 things to do this Easter in Amsterdam

Indulge in Easter Brunch

Food and Easter go together perfectly and especially brunch is a favourite during this holiday in the Netherlands, also known as paasbrunch. Many cafés and restaurants in Amsterdam have special Easter brunch menus. Go to the Jordaan or the Negen Straatjes, for example, and munch on coloured Easter eggs, sweet treats made from chocolate such as eggs and bunnies as well as Paasstol met Amandelspijs, a tasty bread with almond filling and raisins coated with powdered sugar.

See the Dutch countryside

Do you want to leave the city but not drive to the other side of the country? Take a trip through the Dutch countryside during this Easter break instead and visit the iconic Dutch windmills. Start your tour in the Dutch capital and let an experienced guide lead you to all the must-visit places around Amsterdam. During this day trip you will discover a world unlike any other, an experience that is sure to be cherished by adults and kids alike.

The Dutch Countryside and Windmills Tour will take you from Amsterdam to the villages of Zaanse Schans, Volendam and to the former island of Marken. Discover historical windmills, explore authentic Dutch fishing villages, try local cheese and take a boat cruise across the IJsselmeer.

The spring weather will make everything look even more beautiful, so make your Amsterdam Easter weekend in 2024 extra special and don’t forget your camera! Would you like to learn more about Dutch Easter traditions? Keep on reading here to learn all about how the Dutch celebrate Easter.
