Travel Info How is the weather in Amsterdam during end Feb & any suggestion on where to visit in Amsterdam during Feb? Travel Tips I was there last February for 4 days (25th to 28th Feb) and it was really cold; it rained 3 of the 4 days and sometimes the rain became snow. The natives don麓t mind abour the rain or snow at all and you could see them riding their bikes everywhere; the only umbrellas belonged to tourists, I think. But never mind; just wear very warm clothes, gloves, scarf, etc. What to see? Van Gogh Museum is a must: http://www3.vangoghmuseum.nl/vgm/index.j... Rijksmuseum deserves a visit too fro the selection of Dutch painters; I loved the Night Watch: http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/index.jsp... Anne Frank house and museum; impressive the way that family lived during the terrible days of the war: http://www.annefrank.org/content.asp?pid... Go the Flower Market; you麓ll see the endless varieties of flowers!! Go for a tour through the canals (wear really warm clothes!) Rent a bike and cyple around the city, it麓s not very big and there麓s a wonderful bike lane. Visit one of the Diamond Factories, amazing! Munt Plein (Munt Square), there麓s a beautiful tower there. Rembrandt Plein (Rembrandt Square); there麓s a wonderful representation in metal of The Night Watch; at night is just wonderful. Go along Kalverstraat, a long, pedestrian shopping street. Visit this site: http://www.amsterdam.info/ I found it really useful and try its webcam. I did so before going and found out the name of one of the shops there; then once there, I used to stand at a fixed time for a couple of minutes so that my children could see me from home!! Visit the Churches; I loved Oude Kirke (Old Church); West Church seemed to be beautiful in the outside, but it was closed when I was there. Check this site for churches: http://www.amsterdam.world-guides.com/ch... Hope you麓ll have a nice time!! Others Could be cold and rainy. The coffee shops and museums It's cold and rainy. If I remember correctly the weather begings to turn from constant rain to a few days w/ sun...but still cold and windy. Dress in layers and invest in a weather-proof jacket. Lots to see and do regardless Check http://www.iamsterdam.com for it greast ideas a few of my favorites...
