10 Outdoor Activities in Old Center That You Shouldn't Miss

April 23, 2022 Matilde Konrad

This city, full of colorful homes, canals and bridges, is one of Europe's most picturesque capitals. Must-sees on any visitor's itinerary include the Anne Frank House, the Van Gogh Museum and the world's only floating flower market. Rent a bike and join thousands of locals navigating Amsterdam's labyrinthine streets, or just take in the sights on foot. For an unusual and memorable alternative to hotels, consider staying in a houseboat.

Tourist Run Amsterdam

Amsterdam city center running tour. As runners, we can go anywhere we want. So get a taste of all Amsterdams major sights and run with me through the ancient city. We run at easy pace along the pretty Amsterdam canals and canal houses. The fun part is that it’s not even the many famous sights, but the unexpected that you will remember. Have fun, burn some calories and enjoy! Paul
