Amsterdam Getaway

Free day. Lodging, be sure to see: - The Anne Frank House. - A boat ride on the canals. - A Saturday morning at the KNSM docks (these are the islands adjacent to the pier that were once used as warehouses and headquarters of shipping companies. There is everything: museums, cafes, restaurants, design stores and entertainment spaces of the most diverse). - A stroll through the Vondel Park. Nearby, in the Roemer Visscherstraat, you can take a trip through seven European countries in the seven houses built in 1894 by the architect Tjeerd Kuipers imitating the architecture of Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Russia, Holland and England: the houses go from number 20 to 30. - Take a free ferry from the pier of the central station to any of the islands of the archipelago. - The Begijnhof, the perfect place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the old town. It is a former beatitude, a kind of village where pious women (beguines) lived in seclusion. - The Hermitage in Amsterdam, which houses various collections from the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg. - Nemo. A rather original interactive science and technology museum, imitating a ship at anchor. - The chariots, possibly the most complex and elaborate in Europe. - The multiethnic and alternative atmosphere of the De Pijp district.
