Amsterdam

Tulips, above all other flowers, have come to symbolize the season, which is why Amsterdam, the capital of the world's best-known tulip-producing country, the Netherlands, makes our list of springtime musts. April and May are the best times to see the graceful flowers abloom in the city’s markets and public gardens, while tulip festivals in the heart of “bulb country” beckon as day trips. You needn’t be a flora fanatic to love spring in Amsterdam, however, since warm days in this Venice of the North are also tailor-made for strolling the 1000+ bridges that span the city’s 165 canals. Better yet, hop on a boat and spend the afternoon in the water, cruising past a whirl of monuments, gabled Dutch houses, and city cyclists.
