Valentine’s day in Amsterdam

Who doesn’t love anything cheesy from chick flicks to chocolate-dipped strawberries? Single or not I’ve got you covered with the Amsterdam valentine’s to-do list. Amsterdam is perfect for Valentine’s day, with an abundance of romantic restaurants and scenic spots for loved-up moments.

The love boat

The one-hit-wonder cheesy love boat movie scene that can turn into reality. Amsterdam is gushing with old city charm and what better way to see the city than by a canal ride! A romantic cruise a perfect way to see the city’s charm and illuminated waterways while enjoying dinner and drinks. More information on canal cruises.

Romantic classics

Impress your Valentine’s Day date with an outing that puts the ‘class’ in classical at the Royal Concertgebouw. The North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra brings film score favourites to life. Listen up for snippets from scores you know and love from films like Babe and Moulin Rouge between the Bernstein and Offenbach classics. Tip: make it a whole outing with the VIP package, which includes a pre-dinner and luxe intermission snacks.

Romantic comedy

Snuggle up at Amsterdam’s oldest cinema The Movies on Harlemmerdijk for old-fashioned charm, intimate screening rooms with comfy red velvet seats and a cosy bar and restaurant.

Immerse yourself in art-deco romance at Filmhallen’s ‘Parisien Room’, or the stunning Tuschinski cinema with its double ‘love seats’ just made for a Valentine’s Day movie date.

Dinner & A Movie

Pllek is located on the North part of town. In winter this place turns into a cosy hang-out with good food, drinks and bomb fires. On Valentines Day they host a Dinner & a Movie Night. You’ll be served a delicious three-course dinner with a very sweet dessert to share. After that, the candle-lit restaurant will make room for a giant screen showing. Cosy up on one of the beanbags with a blanket and enjoy!

Table for two

Sit down with your sweetheart for a dining experience with a difference, see how well can you trust your lover while blindfolded: at Ctaste you dine in the dark to heighten your sense of smell and taste. If you’d keep thing casual with drinks, Amsterdam is home to an overabundance of bars and pubs. Keep it old school with a visit to a traditional Dutch brown café or go trendy at one of the city’s cocktail bars. Or game it out at the Ton Ton club This arcade hall is a perfect spot for a fun and active date night out. Have a craft beer or one of their amazing cocktails. Perfect for a fun evening out.

Netflix? Let’s cereal and chill

It’s not only cereal heaven with pretty much every variety available, but it’s also a trip down memory lane with an interior that seems to date back to the nineties. At Cereal & Chill, you can create your own bowl of cereal, and you can go as crazy as you like. When you order at Cereal & Chill you start with choosing the size of you bowls: kids, standard or superbowl. Then you choose 1 or 2 kinds of cereal. They have 100 kinds of cereal to choose from. And there is no better way to end a date with a game of Nintendo or Mario Kart

Single on Valentines Day?

I’ve got you covered. Since Valentine’s day is on a Friday there are plenty of parties and events hosted all throughout Amsterdam.

Let out your inner superstar at Duke of Tokyo

This bar & club located in the city centre is the perfect spot for a Valentines night with friends. Grab some cocktails and enjoy some of their delicious bar bites before you head in to one of their karaoke booths. At night the bar area turns into a lively club, where you can dance to the beats of the DJ until well into the early hours!
