Parks & Nature
My favourite city park. You can walk through the park to head to the heart of the city. Nice biking/walking route to the heart of the city. Inside the park you'll find 'het Blauwe theehuis', nice to have a beer.

Lovely residential neighborhood of ‘Oud-zuid’ (old south) to walk around. Check out the buildings, restaurants, stores, people and expensive cars. You can walk from the houseboat across Vondelpark to here in about 20 minutes.
