The two prime examples are the striking Nemo Science Centre, ingeniously designed in the shape of a giant green ship bursting through the water’s surface, and the neighbouring National Maritime Museum, which has recently undergone a dramatic modernisation. This mammoth construct houses a rich and captivating collection of naval artefacts, offering a fascinating glimpse into Dutch history and culture.

If you desire a venue that is slightly more authentic and more cost effective than the inner city, then take a fifteen minute wander east along the water to the Ij Brewery. This delightful pub resides in a former bathhouse next to the Gooyer Windmill, established in response to the increased public dissatisfaction with the beer brewed by larger companies. Presenting a delectable assortment of organic beer, the Ij enjoys a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and is particularly pleasurable during the summer months when locals and tourists gather together on the sunny terrace.
