Amsterdam is a treasure trove of quirky, offbeat, and downright delightful activities that are just a bike ride away.

Here's your short guide to diving into the city's funscape.

King's Day festival

If timing is your ally, dive into the vibrant sea of orange on King's Day. Amsterdam turns into a giant street party where everyone is in a festive mood. One of the things you can do during the festival is walk along the banks of the canals to see the huge number of boats, each one having its own floating party. If you want, take one of these boats and enjoy yourself like never before. There are lots of bars, djs, music and parties all over the city.

Escape rooms

There are few places in the world with these incredible games that make you crack your head.
