If you both love nature, Vondelpark offers peaceful spots amid the greenery. Bring a picnic basket, relax, and surprise your partner in a serene setting.

Various rooftop bars in Amsterdam offer stunning views over the canals and the historic center. This can be a stylish and unforgettable place to pop the question.
