SKATING ON FROZEN CANALS & THE COOLEST ICE TRACK

New Amsterdam Travel Video- Parts of the Amsterdam canals froze for over two days this Winter, enough so people could get out and ice skate on them. Since schaatsen is such a Dutch national pasttime in the Netherlands, and since the last time the canals froze was six years ago, locals wasted no time getting out there when the conditions were just right.

The Dutch love to ice skate, so when the canals froze, they took advantage of it while it lasted. Experience ice skating in the city center and see what it's like to ice skate in the middle of the outdoor ice track at the Olympic Stadium.
