This means you can have a run of the tourist venues and attractions without the summer throng! You also get cheaper rates of accommodation and airfare.<\/p>\n<p> <b>Enjoy the festivities post the holiday season:<\/b> The start of January does not mean the end of festivities in Amsterdam! The year starts with the New Year\u2019s Dive, when a lot of the winter fairs and markets are still open. The National Tulip Day heralds the start of the tulip season, while the Chinese New Year festivities amp up the excitement meter. There is always something happening in Amsterdam!<\/p>\n<p> <b>Exciting activities all through:<\/b> Amsterdam does not experience too much snow and you can continue with outdoor activities like canal cruises and walking tours. You also get to enjoy ice skating rinks! Since most of Amsterdam\u2019s sights are indoors like the museums (Van Gogh, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/rijksmuseum-amsterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rijksmuseum<\/a>, Anne Frank\u2019s House), Heineken Brewery, Amsterdam Ice Bar, Amsterdam Dungeon, etc. you don\u2019t have to worry about the weather outside! You can stay warm inside and still enjoy other perks of visiting Amsterdam in January.<\/p>\n<h2>Amsterdam in January: Weather<\/h2>\n<p> January is one of the coldest months of the year and average temperatures range around 4.5\u00b0C and drop to around 1\u00b0C during the nights. You might experience rainfall but not much snow. However, the winds over the canals make it seem colder than the numbers say!<\/p>\n<p><span> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/media\/images\/963f57a7969719be830baf98c4cf6f02-amsterdam%20in%20jan.jpg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress\" alt=\"Amsterdam in January - weather\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"19068541\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Amsterdam in January: Things to do<\/h2>\n<p>1<\/p>\n<h2>Heineken Brewery<\/h2>\n<p style=\"display:block;\">\n<p><span> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix.headout.com\/tour\/14085\/TOUR-IMAGE\/88ed340a-79bc-4f5c-b2a7-44e33db92a1f-7734-amsterdam-heineken-experience-image-updates-06.jpg?fm=pjpg&amp;auto=compress;fm=webp&amp;w=1200&amp;h=750&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" alt=\"Amsterdam in January\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 300px;\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"2252878852\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\" width=\"900\" height=\"223\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Beer enthusiast or not, a visit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/heineken-experience-amsterdam\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heineken experience in Amsterdam<\/a>  is an incredibly fun and insightful.
