Despite its slightly dubious reputation, Amsterdam is one of Europe's most vibrant, beautiful and intriguing cities. Wonderfully fresh, clean and open-minded, Amsterdam is like a breath of fresh air, both literally and figuratively. Now is the time for many of us to plan the trips on our 2012 wish lists, although for the majority finances may mean that there's some scaling back to be done this year. A city break is the perfect compromise, and there are amazing holiday deals to be found on daily deals websites such as Groupon. If you're considering a springtime break in 2012 then Amsterdam is the perfect destination. From March onwards the tulip fields surrounding the city begin to come back to life after winter, and by April the area will be carpeted with stunning red, pink, purple, orange and yellow blooms. The gentle climate of Spring in Amsterdam also lends itself perfectly to the city's bike culture. There is no better way to explore this beautiful city than by bike. Mike's Bikes on Kerkstraat offers excellent, award-winning city bike tours full of personality and fun. Choose between the city tour and the countryside bike tour, or do both to get a great sense of the city as it is designed to be best experienced. Cycle leisurely around the leafy Jordan area, park up your bike and have a drink in lively Liedseplein square or dare to ride past the windows of the red light district, - there's so much to see in Amsterdam, and hiring a bike is a quick, easy and enjoyable way to take it all in.
