The eastern end, near the Golden Bend, is not for raucous thrill seekers. It's quite placid, though move back, around the Rembrandt Square, and it's lively. It is centrally located--perhaps 15 minute stroll to museum square and 10 minutes to Dam Square. The city is extremely walkable--compact and flat.

Lovely area to have a stroll around, even in the rain! Everybody ignores it in the city. Walked there alone at night and felt safe

The most delightful stroll along this lovely canal bank - an array of little restaurants and cafes create the most wonderful atmosphere. Just watch out you don't step into the cycle lane!!

We highly recommend a visit to Sloterplas as it's an amazing and relaxing place where lots of people gather to spend time together, practice sports or simply to walk around the lake. The whole loop around the lake is quite long and can take more than a hour. We suggest to reach the boat rental on the eastern bank to rent a kayak or a boat and sail along the canals and in the middle of the lake. The surrounding area offers lots of cafes and restaurants and is linked with the city center by public means (around 20-30 minutes from Amsterdam Centraal).
