Parks & Nature

The zoo is spacious and you are away from traffic! If you are in to nature, the Artis zoo is a tram ride away, is spacious, away from traffic and has beautiful trees and green. And animals of course.. The butterfly garden is big and impressive, with a cabinet where butterflies that just came out of their cocoon are waiting to dry. We visit the Aquarium or the the Planetarium on rainy days.

The Vondelpark is a 20 minute walk from home. It has plenty of grass for picknicks, and several cafes. I especially love the morning vibe with people jogging, exercising and walking their dogs.

Shopping

We live right next to the 9 streets (the 9 straatjes). They form a square of 3 times 3 side streets between the Prinsengracht canal and the Singel canal. Cross the closest bridge over the canal to arrive at the middle 3 streets.

At Fou Fow Ramen (couple of steps away) there often is a line for noodles in broth. I heard the salmon side dish and the spinach side dish are tasty too.

Climb the steps to the top of the Westerkerk and see if you can spot you home. This is the church which bells you hear from the bedroom and the balcony.

Arts & Culture

On the other side of the IJ river. About 25 minutes walking and a free 5 minute ferry crossing. Many films showing. An excellent menu in cafe with view of Amsterdam from the other side of the IJ and the many boats sailing the IJ. While there, check out the old Shell headquarters that offer a fabulous view on the town.

Drinks & Nightlife

Close to home, brown cafe. I know this cafe only from seeing it from my living room window and our yearly owners association meetings (as I prefer to be in bed by 10 and do not go to bars in the evening..).
