Holidays by land and sea
Rent a bike to visit Amsterdamse Bos, a woodland and nature haven, 35-minutes from central Amsterdam. Explore trails and discover grasslands and meadows, or try sailing or kayaking on the waterways.
Board the free ferry to Buiksloterdijk and visit the old Buiksloot neighbourhood with classic Dutch half-timbered houses – an authentic side of the Netherlands which too few visitors experience.
