A popular spot for a picnic after a visit to one of the local museums.<\/p>\n<p>Spending a weekend in Amsterdam promises you plenty of sightseeing in the heart of the city. You can discover the red light district and spend some time in the city's various parks. I'd also recommend stopping off at some of the city's best bakeries to sample the local specialties.
