Reclaimed from the IJ River in the 17^th century, the Eastern Islands became a hotbed for industrial activity during the Netherlands’ booming shipbuilding days. This rich heritage is still visible within the neighbourhood today and can be explored at the fascinating National Maritime Museum, which has recently emerged from a dramatic renovation. The quarter’s monumental buildings and scenic waterways create an attractive setting from which to discover the city, and the area is brimming with local gems to keep you satisfied throughout your stay.

For tasty and affordable dishes, try the Siam Thais Eetcafe just 150 metres from your doorstep or indulge in a romantic evening meal at the cosy Gare de L’est. After satiating your taste buds, head across the canal to the Gooyer Windmill and enjoy a superb selection of tasty beers at the ’t IJ brewery. Other worthwhile venues within the vicinity include the enthralling Tropenmuseum, the colourful Dappermarkt and the 17^th century Oosterkerk.
