Top activities
- Rent a bicycle and discover Amsterdam and it surroundings on bike → See below
- Visit the Anne Frankhuis → See below
- Visit the Waterlooplein flea market - Always nice, and handy if you want to buy a bit more original souvenirs
- Visit the Red Light District - Not a personal favourite of mine, but most of my guest do visit this area. At the very least, it will impress you and will make you think.
Rent a bicycle
Why?
- Amsterdam and its surroundings is so much more fun on bicycle than by public transport
- Get everywhere really fast, without having to figure out public transport
- The whole city comes alive when you're on a bike!
How?
- Prices seem pretty much te be the same everywhere: Around € 13,-- for the first day, and around only € 5,-- per day when you rent more than 5 days
- A deposit is required. Usually, a credit card will do, or alternatively, your driving license or passport.
Where?
- There are lots of bike rental places all around town
- There is a rental place around the corner from where I live: No. 1 Rental - Most of my guests rent their bikes here, and they're happy with it
- There is a Mac Bike at Central Station, if that's more convenient
Bicycle trips
Some of my favourite day trips by bike
- Rural Amsterdam North: Oranjesluizen (water locks) » Durgerdam » Ransdorp » Holysloot » Ferry to the other side of the Holysloter Die » Back to Amsterdam » Ferry behind Central Station

Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House (Anne Frankhuis in Dutch) is probably the most famous and impressive thing to see in Amsterdam. I also think it's the best museum in Amsterdam, if you could actually call it a museum.
