What to do and see in Centrum, North Holland Province: The Best Nature & Parks

June 4, 2021 Giuseppe Pratt

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.

Me and my wife had wanted to go to the zoo in Amsterdam for the last 5 years but the weather has never been good enough , well this time last Tuesday when we got up the sun was shining , so we got up and went , The Zoo was really really good , the animal enclosures were large with plenty of toys and amusements for the animals , they were clean and the food laying around was fresh , loads to see and do and plenty of cafes to stop and have a warm drink . Overall a great place to go and can't wait to go back next year .

Herengracht

Reviewed By AtlantaLex

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 visited TunFun in the middle of Feb. Situated underneath a tram line & intersection. Excellent play area for children. Large soft play jungle gyms for different ages. Cafe serves food & drinks, lovely and warm in there. Will definitely visit again. Used the tram to Waterlooplein, unsure if any car parking is nearby.
