Rooftop Cocktail Workshop In Amsterdam

Rooftop Cocktail Workshop In Amsterdam : Shake, Stir, Sip Team activities are usually a coin flip. Either they're genuinely fun or you're sitting in a conference room doing trust falls while someone mentions synergy unironically. But a rooftop cocktail workshop in Amsterdam? That's the rare activity where people actually get excited instead of just politely nodding during the planning email. Because when the agenda includes canal views, professional bartending tips, and hands-on drink making, suddenly everyone's very keen on "professional development." The Rooftop Situation You head up to a proper rooftop bar with views across Amsterdam's canal houses and church spires doing their classic Dutch thing. From up here the city looks almost too pretty to be real—boats cruising the canals, gabled buildings leaning into each other like old friends, that golden hour light making everything Instagram-ready without trying. Someone in your group will absolutely say "I could live here"…

Latest destination news The Netherlands

TUI adds Amsterdam to Mombasa and Zanzibar Routes

TUI adds Amsterdam to Mombasa and Zanzibar Routes After months of paperwork, polite emails, and what we can only assume was a lot of refreshing inboxes, TUI Airlines has officially been cleared to fly charter services to Kenya. Europe’s largest tour airline has secured a one-year licence from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, and yes — this time, it actually stuck. From 10th November 2025, TUI will operate two weekly charter flights on a rather scenic routing: Amsterdam – Zanzibar – Mombasa – Amsterdam, using Boeing 787 Dreamliners based in Amsterdam. Sunseekers, your boarding passes are practically warming up already. A Small Catch (Because There’s Always One) Before anyone gets too excited about hopping between Zanzibar and Mombasa, there’s a rulebook moment. TUI isn’t allowed to pick up or drop off passengers between those two destinations. In aviation speak, that’s about traffic rights. In normal human language, it means: no sneaky island-to-coast shortcuts. Fair enough. If…

New Schengen Visa Rules

New Schengen Visa Rules Big news for travelers: starting 2026, France is hopping on the bandwagon with Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and a bunch of other Schengen countries to roll out stricter visa rules. The goal? Make borders more secure, digitize entry processes, and sprinkle a little extra bureaucracy on your travel plans. Enter the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) and its cousin, the European Entry/Exit System (EES) — systems designed to make sure everyone arriving in Europe is, you know, legally allowed to be there. Sounds fancy, right? In practice, it means higher rejection rates, more questions about your life story, and longer waits for approvals. Basically, Europe is telling travelers: “We love tourists… just, like, know your paperwork. And yes, we’ll be checking twice.” France: Fancy Forms, Health Checks, and the Occasional Paper Cut Ah, France — home of croissants, cafés, and now… even more paperwork. France is stepping u…

Schiphol announces €10 Billion Sustainability Glow-Up

Schiphol announces €10 Billion Sustainability Glow-Up Schiphol has officially entered its “treat yourself” era — and not just with a new coffee machine or nicer carpets. No, the airport is going full makeover mode, unveiling a long-term vision built around “quality and balance” (which, frankly, sounds like something you'd hear in a yoga class) and a jaw-dropping €10 billion investment plan through 2035. The goal? Make travelling smoother, working there better, and operations more resilient — all while being quieter, cleaner, and less likely to annoy the neighbours. New Terminal, New Piers, New Everything Under the Schiphol Centre Master Plan, the airport is basically becoming a construction zone with ambition. We’re talking: A shiny, light-filled new terminal Renovated piers More gates for the newer, quieter aircraft Refreshed lounges, retail spaces and general “walking-around” areas It’s the biggest glow-up since the invention of duty-free perfume. Schiphol is also impr…

Wizz Air opens Base in Montenegro

That’s right — the city better get ready for a whole lot more pink and purple jets in its skyline. Two Planes, One Mission: Make Montenegro Fly To kick things off, Wizz Air is stationing two shiny Airbus A321neo aircraft at the new base. Think of them as the airline’s dynamic duo — ready to whisk travellers away to 14 new European destinations faster than you can finish your airport coffee. With over one million new seats up for grabs every year, Montenegro is about to get a serious upgrade in the “how easy is it to get here?” department. If you need help with your next event, incentive, meeting, conference or group to Montenegro, please contact…

Transavia Drops Summer 2026 Schedule

Starting September 17, 2025, the airline opens bookings for its summer season (April 1 – October 25). Translation: you can already lock in your next escape while it’s still sweater weather. Think new Italian hotspots, Greek island adventures, Egyptian sunshine, and the kind of destinations that make you question why you ever agreed to stay home and “garden.” New Routes: Say Ciao to Italy If Transavia’s summer schedule had a theme, it would be “More Pasta, Please.” New scheduled flights are serving up Italian sunshine straight from the Netherlands: Amsterdam – Alghero (Sardinia): Because regular beaches weren’t enough—you need Sardinia’s turquoise perfection. Amsterdam – Palermo (Sicily): Gelato, cannoli, and enough history to make your high school textbook jealous. Eindhoven – Olbia (Sardinia): Olbia may not be a household…

Wizz Air Expands in Poland

Wizz Air Expands in Poland Wizz Air has decided that Poland needs way more direct flights to awesome places—and honestly, we agree. The ultra-low-cost airline is doubling down with two shiny new Airbus A321neos (cue the new-plane smell), one each for Kraków and Katowice, and they’re not just there to sit around looking pretty. Nope, they’re bringing ten new routes with them. That’s right—ten. As in: your “where should we go next?” list just got ten answers longer. Kraków’s Getting Continental Kraków’s turning into a proper European hub, and the new additions are all about mixing culture, scenery, and maybe a cheeky glass of wine or three. Starting late October to December 2025, you can jet off to: Bilbao (Dec 9, Tues & Sat) – Come for the Guggenheim, stay for the pintxos. Verona (Oct 28, Tues, Thurs, Sat) – Because shouting “Romeo!” from a balcony is still a valid holiday activity. Vilnius (Oct 26, four days a week) – Quaint, quirky, and criminally underrated. Tallinn (O…
