Amsterdam is one of the places so far off from the concept of romance, that is so closely related to places like Venice and France, but one might be surprised at the romantic ambiance Amsterdam can offer. When given the chance, it is this unexpectedness that will spark the romance in a relationship when you visit Amsterdam. Amsterdam, similar to that of Venice, is a floating city and it is in these waterscapes, during quiet night walks with the canal as background, that many couples feel a sense of tranquility with each other. There are also many cafes where couples can hang out in just having endless conversations in the afternoons or they can also stroll through the different mazelike areas of Spanjer en van Twist. And when thats over and done with, couples can head off to the several parks such as Sarphatipark, Flevopark, Vondelpark, Westerpark and the Snippendaal Garden and bask in nostalgic recalls. After everything, laze the remaining day away in one of Amsterdams minimalist hotels and watch the sunset together on a city thats bright with new perspective.
