First things first

This is where our houseboat is situated. Amsterdam seems like a big city, but trust us, it is much smaller than what it looks like.

 

 

Our houseboat is only 30 minutes from Schiphol International Airport (by Taxi).

 

 

Amsterdam is the greatest city in the world. There are so many things to see, eat and experience that we have handpicked some of our most favourite places in Holland’s capital.

 

 

Have a browse and explore some of our picks; from restaurants, to cafes, to markets and hidden sights of Amsterdam, we hope you will enjoy roaming through the streets of Amsterdam.

Our houseboat is the ideal area in starting to explore Amsterdam.

 

  Here is why:

 

Within walking distance you will find the the Daily Market Dappermarket. Immerse yourself in local produce, as well as fabrics, knick-knacks, clothing, shoes, flowers, fish, cheese and so on. The Amsterdam Zoo 'Artis' as well as the Maritime Museum are within walking distance, too. The Tropenmuseum has many exhibitions, too. 

 

Nieuwmarket district is great for having a drink or dinner. It is close to the Red Light District and Chinatown - easily reached by bike or foot. 

 

- Tramstops (10 and 14) within 3 minute walking distance. Click here for more information about Amsterdam Public Transport.

 

These trams will take you anywhere in the city. From the Vondelpark, the Anne Frank House, the famous Noordermarket on Saturday morning, Dam Square, Rembrandtsquare, Waterloosquare and its vintage market , Leidsesquare , the Westerchurch and the museum district, these two tram lines virtually cover all of Amsterdam. And they are just around the corner!
