Hello, future Frozen characters! In the Netherlands, winters are chilly but the people and the stroopwafels are warm. Join us as we skate’ through Dutch winter with warmth (hopefully) and joy. Here is your guide to enjoying winter like a Dutchie.
Skating on Local Ice Rinks
Dutch ice skating is almost innate. Most cities have local ice rinks, so you can slip, slide, and sometimes resemble Bambi on ice. These rinks range from large one to small intimate settings. Amsterdam and Rotterdam feature beautiful rinks that may make you forget you’re cold! Remember to check whether you have one in your city.
Christmas Markets: Where 'Yule' Party
Visit Maastricht and The Hague markets for a Christmas card-like experience with flowing glühwein and ‘gouda’ cheese vendors! Perfect for gift-hunting, unless you keep all the cosy mittens for yourself (no judgement). Trust me the Christmas Market scene is something right out of a fairytale. For a more Markets check out our post.
