The apartment can be found located in an area known as the Old South of the city, so named as it is the southern portion of Amsterdam’s centre. A popular and vibrant residential district, you will find lots of shops and interesting places to explore on your doorstep.
Most delightful is the apartment’s close proximity to the impressive River Amstel which is actually just seconds away. Many visitors to the apartment choose to walk into the old city centre along the river’s western bank or hire bicycles to get there quicker of course. Alternatively you can simply hop on a handy tram at nearby Ceintuurbaan. The trams can whizz you to Central Station in around 12 minutes, depending on traffic and how many passengers need to get on and off of course. We at Amsterdam Apartment want you to have the most authentic experience whilst you are staying in the city. We would absolutely recommend all visitors to the city hire bicycles, whatever an apartment’s location, as it’s not only cheaper and often quicker than public transport, it’s also lots of fun seeing the city from a new perspective. Don’t worry, cycling in the Netherlands is extremely safe compared to other countries as we have dedicated cycle lanes to keep you away from regular traffic.
You will find the pretty parks of Sarphatipark and Oosterpark to the north and east respectively, both of which are delightful places to enjoy a picnic in the warmer months.
Meanwhile why not pop across the Amstel and explore the leafy district of the Plantage? It’s home to Artis Zoo as well as the city’s Horticultural Gardens which include huge greenhouses creating Rain Forrest-like environments to experience. There couldn’t be a better place to visit on a cold or rainy day in the city.
For some cultural stimulus head west to Museum Square and take your pick from the Van Gogh Museum, the Rijksmuseum (history and art) and the Stedelijk (modern art).
