When to book your Amsterdam flights
Although Amsterdam has a pretty mild climate, that climate can be rather moody sometimes; you can never be sure what tomorrow's weather may bring. High season for Amsterdam airfare is December and April through August. People love visiting during the spring and the summer in order to see Amsterdam's famous tulips and attend wildly popular events such as the Canal Festival and Holland Festival. Shoulder season is September and mid-March to late March, and low season is October to November and January to mid-March. During the winter, it sometimes gets cold enough that the canals will freeze; if the canals freeze hard enough, you can skate on them. Tickets and hotels rooms are cheaper during low season, and museums are much less crowded.
