Is May 1st (Labor Day) in Amsterdam mean that the exhibits, restaurants etc. closed. I do know we got caught on our first
trip to Italy we arrived on May 1st and pretty well everything was closed.
Is May 4th & 5th (Remembrance, and Liberation Day) are exhibits etc closed on these days as well.
I have tentatively used flying out of Toronto on April 30th and arriving in Amsterdam May 1.
Any insight to this question would be appreciated.

The more recent your xtian denomination, the less likely you are to have fun on May Day -- puritanical communities did their best to suppress the natural arrival-of-Spring festivals even when they were dressed in Church decorations.

xtian = christian - I guess. Much like xmas.
Often used by people who are too busy writing the full word. A bit like writing "vacay" for "vacation", "Trafalgar" for "Trafalgar Square" and many others.
