Just outside the apartment you will find the locations for canal tours and bike rentals. Maps and directions are available for you in the apartment. Strongly recommended is a stroll in the Spiegelstraat, where you can admire dozens of antique and fine arts shops, situated next to each other. The entertainment areas such as Museum plain (Concert Hall) Leidseplein and Rembrandtsplein can be visited late at night, because you are living at five minutes walking distance. During the daytime a selection can be made to visit Van Gogh, Stedelijk and Rijksmuseum, the Royal Palace, Anne Frank house, etc. Take your time and enjoy your lunch or dinner in one of the finest or cosiest restaurants in your surroundings.

To vary your stay in Amsterdam, you can also visit -by means of public transport- very old and typical Dutch places such as Marken (a former island), where inhabitants are dressed in old fashioned costumes; Alkmaar to watch the famous cheese market, a performance in a rich historic scenery. Also visit the Floriade (2003) with it?s brilliantly designed large gardens or the famous Keukenhof with it?s fascinating decorated tulip and other flower compositions, or visit picturesque Dutch cities such as Enkhuizen, Hoorn, Monnikendam, arising from the golden era.

When you admire beach life, visit Zandvoort at the North sea by train. Also the shores of the lakes of Loosdrecht or the IJsselmeer (Muiden) provide you with all kind of facilities to go for your favourite water sport, sailing, motorboat trips, water skiing, etc.
