The city itself might experience a couple of days of snow that won\u2019t last long. The days are overcast and cloudy, and incredibly short with sunrise around 8:30am and sunset around 4:30pm, leaving you little time to explore the outdoors.<\/p>\n Even though it is not peak tourist season, stay options in Amsterdam remain pricey in December. However, you can choose from a range of options and also from a variety of neighbourhoods. Typically, tourists choose the historic centre or the snazzy Jordaan area to feel the pulse of the city. You can also opt for the upscale Oud-West or the riverside Amsterdam-Noord that offer a lovely mix of eateries, boutiques and charming wine bars.<\/p>\n Wintery and rainy Amsterdam demands that you bulk up your suitcase with raincoats, thick jackets, gloves, and woolly scarves and mufflers. Umbrellas, waterproof boots and shoes are essential.<\/p>\n A reliable and extensive public transport network makes Amsterdam easy to navigate. Your options include:<\/p>\n Amsterdam\u2019s version of mulled wine \u2013 popular at Christmas markets and served in homes. The wine\u2019s boozy warmth is enhanced with spices like star anise, cinnamon and nutmeg making it the perfect winter drink.

This special winter treat, which translates to \u201coily balls\u201d in English, is just the sugar-filled high you need. Where To Order: Banketbakkerij Lanskroon<\/a><\/p>\n Known popularly as Snert, this green soup is hearty and warms you in the cold months.
