The Best Outdoor Pursuits

  • Cross Bridges over Untroubled Waters: Amsterdam has more bridges -- and more canals -- than Venice, a city Italians are proud to call "the Amsterdam of the South." Find out what humbles Italians by crossing as many of Amsterdam's 1,200-plus bridges as you can; the views are unparalleled.
  • Toe through the Tulips: Join four centuries of Dutch tradition by going overboard for a flower that's become synonymous with Holland. In spring, you'll find them everywhere. Sharp promotion (and a seed of truth) says the best place to pick up a bunch is at the Flower Market on Singel.
  • Beach About Zandvoort: Come rain, hail, or shine (and often enough, all three on the same day), Amsterdammers ride the rails for a short hop out to its brassy -- but not classy -- coastal resort. The bracing North Sea air blows away all that marijuana smoke.
