How To Spend A Weekend in Amsterdam

After a 19-year absence, 2018 was the year I finally returned to Amsterdam. As accommodation in the city is expensive, even when booking well in advance, I just stayed one night. I flew out early on Saturday morning, reaching central Amsterdam just after 10 am, and returning to London late on Sunday night. I saw quite a bit of the city in two full days, including six of its specialty coffee shops. Here's what else I got up to in my weekend in the Dutch capital.

Six Specialty Coffee Shops To Visit in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a city so convenient to get to from London that it's rather embarrassing that my only previous visit was at the end of the last century. 2018 was the year I finally righted that wrong, and top of my to-do list was visiting some of the excellent specialty coffee shops and roasteries the city now boasts.
