As the name suggests, this Amsterdam apartment is situated on the Oosterdok or Old Harbour, a tranquil area that has undergone a dramatic recent renovation. The harbour itself is home to a collection of fascinating buildings that can be enjoyed by the entire family, namely the Nemo Science Centre, the National Maritime Museum and the largest library in Europe, the Openbare Bibliotheek. This is also a prime location for accessing the country’s most popular visitor attraction; a canal boat tour, the perfect way to explore the capital. A diverse fleet of around 200 specialised vessels provides a vast variety of services and entertainment, from hop on, hop off tours to luxurious dining experiences. There is even a pancake boat, which serves unlimited traditional pancakes whilst you sail through Amsterdam’s stunning, historical canals.

Also just a short walk away from this Amsterdam accommodation is the legendary Red Light District, alternatively known as De Wallen. The best way to explore this colourful area is through a walking tour, some of which are free, offering a unique insight into the realities and fictions of this controversial neighbourhood. Located in the very heart of De Wallen is the beautiful Old Church that dates back to the early 14th century. This stunning piece of history houses numerous religious and cultural activities, and opens the prestigious World Press Photo Exhibition during the spring months.
