Activities for Autumn in Amsterdam - When the leaves fall After the high season buzz, the streets become calmer and the leaves start changing colours. The temperatures also start to drop, so be prepared for some cold days. When the sun is up, walking along the Amstel river towards the Oud Zuid is a great activity. The river that named the city is full of fancy house boats and greenery. Another way to appreciate Amsterdam in the Fall is to explore its less touristy parks and watch as the leaves descent from the trees. Amsterdam Bos, Amstel Park, Beatrix Park and Erasmus Park are fantastic options. If the sun doesn’t shine, apple pie and hot chocolate are what you need. There are many places that sell the combo, however, Winkel 43 is the most celebrated one and an experience you do not want to miss. Two good alternatives are De Koffieschenkerij, inside the Oude Kerk (Old Church), and Café Papeneiland, where, as rumour goes, there is an underground escape tunnel for Catholics, from way back when they were persecuted in Amsterdam. The science museum NEMO has a big, free, rooftop in the centre of the city where you can watch the sun go down.
