Queensday in Amsterdam
Saturday April 30 it’s time for the annual celebration of the birthday of our former Dutch queen Juliana. This is the day all Dutchies are proud to live in a constitutional monarchy and the whole city turns orange, as it is the national color. As always 29th and 30th of April are packed with parties and events, so to make things easier, we made you a list of the best and included Google Maps links for directions.
