WHAT ELSE TO DO
- Go on a canal cruise!! 🙂
- Visit the Jordaan (especially the northern part, north of Rozengracht) and have an apple pie ‘Papeneiland‘ – a very cute traditional brown cafe’s on a stunning canalside location. Visit some of the many ‘secret courtyards‘ the Jordaan is famous for, have lunch or dinner Dutch restaurant Sonneveld. Check out the farmers market on Saturday and the super cool food, clothes, and art market (my favorite!) on Monday morning, both taking place on Noordermarkt
- Explore some of the most beautiful and least visited parts in the city center, like De Oude Waal or the beautiful old warehouse district Etrepotdok, next to Artis ZOO.
- Rent a bike (if you dare) and visit the 19th-century neighborhoods around the city center: De Pijp, Oud Zuid, Oud west & Oost
- Stroll & shop along the Nine little streets and Utrechtsestraat
- Get fresh (Dutch) street food like haring, poffertjes or stroopwafels at the Albert Cuypmarket (Monday – Saturday from 9 am – 5 pm)
- Visit at least one of our great parks: Vondelpark, Westerpark, Sarphatipark, Oosterpark.
- Take a free ferry to the NDSM shipyard and check out the largest Street Art museum in the world located in the ‘Lasloods’. Check out their program to see what’s on.
- Visit the new Public Library and get a stunning view from its rooftop terrace for free
- If you like (post) modern architecture and urbanism, check out the Eastern Docklands (former warehouses / industrial area)
- Walk along the Amstel River and take pictures on the ‘skinny’ bridge
