Amazing fireworks all over the city. Burghers and tourists braved the cold weather and gathered to welcome 2016 in grand style. Of course, one had to be careful in the light of warnings from the security services. But Amsterdam is our city, and we threw ourselves a wonderful party.
I watched the fireworks with a small group of close friends. We chose as our location the well appointed Hotel de l’Europe on the Nieuwe Doelenstraat. Our room had breathtaking views of the fireworks across the city. We also walked up and down the heaving streets, setting off our own fireworks, and watching others do the same.
Amsterdam, welcome to 2016. Have an awesome year, everyone!
And here is a short video of some of the evening’s fireworks. Happy viewing.
