  Kuuma Marineterrein

  Until recently, the Naval Site was not open to the public. It wasn't even visible on Google Maps. This is where the VOC ships were built and the city's ammunition was stored. Less than a kilometer from the city center! Recently, it has become a recreation area. The officers' buildings are rented out to startups focusing on water quality worldwide. There are some great hotels, and the harbor has become a public swimming pool. Here, we toast to a pleasant day. Anyone who's interested can take a refreshing dip. (Bring a towel!)

  15 minutes • Admission ticket free
• V.O.C. Ship Batavia (Pass by)

  An old, restored VOC ship lies in the harbor. It's hard to believe that such a small ship brought Amsterdam so much prosperity and fame.

  Nieuwmarkt En Lastage

  Then we continue towards the Kromboomsloot. In the Middle Ages, this was just outside the city gate. Now it's the Waag (weigh house) on the Nieuwmarkt. In the 1970s, demolition was threatened due to the construction of a highway. Local residents and squatters revolted. Now, there are no cars rushing through here, but there are a lot of tourists. We don't stay long but quickly cut through via the always bustling Zeedijk to the Singelgracht.

  The Jordaan

  From Anne Frank's house, we dive into the Jordaan district. Famous for its traditional Dutch cafés, narrow streets, tiny houses, and hidden courtyards. At the end of the Jordaan is a brilliant café. We'll have a drink and afterwards we walk to my house. A gorgeous House built in 1880 where we will share a 2 course diner, enjoy the view over the canals and enjoy each other.
