Wonderfully positioned on the banks of the eastern harbour, this holiday apartment affords an enviable location, close enough to navigate the historic city centre on foot but with enough distance to provide an authentic Amsterdam experience. The Oosterdok itself is a picturesque area perfect for a leisurely stroll and is home to an excellent selection of attractions, especially tailored to younger members of the family. 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.

This Amsterdam accommodation is also situated in close proximity to the city’s notorious Red Light District and the colourful Chinatown. This vibrant quarter is home to countless bars, restaurants and cafes, and boasts beautiful 17th century architecture. 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.
