There is nothing like the atmosphere in Amsterdam when it’s Pride week. This open and tolerant city is the perfect place in Europe to celebrate Pride and party the week away. Whenever there is a festival in Amsterdam, it always revolves around the water, and Amsterdam Pride is no exception. Sit by the Canal and watch the Parade go by on boats on Saturday 5th August.
