Parks & Nature
The lake has a nice bicycle- and pedestrians path all around. There are free water refill spots so bring your own bottle. Perfect distance for runners (around 5km). A run from the house around the lake is 7 km.

The westerpark is great for sunny days. Do as the locals and bring something to sit own and your own beers or wine. Or do it the fancy way and sit down on one of the many terracess of the bars in the park. If you want to make it a late night; there are a few bars and clubs here to go one till late.

I think one of my favourite spots of Amsterdam. A huge park where you can walk and bicycle for hours. In the middle there is a 1937 rowing lake which is still actively being used today.

Food Scene
Still THE place to go to in Amsterdam if you like steak. Order it medium, gravy and white bread on the side. I travelled the world but always come back to Loetje.

Entertainment & Activities
The hallen is great for a night out. Go there late afternoon / beginning evening and start in the "food hallen" (http://www.foodhallen.nl/). If you are done eating and drinking hit town or walk 50 meters and watch a movie in the beautiful "film hallen" (https://www.filmhallen.nl/ - best to make an online reserveration).

Arts & Culture
It's a cliche, but you must have been to the Rijksmuseum before you leave Amsterdam. Especially after the renovation its a museum with not only a great collection but also great architecture. Be sure to get online tickets beforehand, can be very busy in high season.

Maybe not the nr 1 pick for most tourists. But interesting building and if there is a nice temporary collection worthwhile to check it out.

Sightseeing
The NDSM is the former ship yard of Amsterdam and located in Amsterdam-North. You need to take a (free) ferry from (amongst others) central station to get there. Great to check out the area (PLEKK is a very nice beach bar) or to check the monthly flea market (http://ijhallen.nl/en/).
