Picture-perfect canals lined with somber-colored, skinny houses, gray––but romantic altogether––winter skies, and stroopwafels straight from the market: It’s easy to see how Amsterdam would still rank high on everyone’s Europe bucket list despite the intense crowding. Something most tourists fail to grasp, however, is that, as beautiful as it may be, the capital of the …

If you’ve made up your mind about traveling to Europe this winter, we know you’re the kind of person who doesn’t shy away from braving the freezing cold.
