To live on a houseboat is unique. Water-birds are swimming around your location and show you with pride their young breed. You can swim and catch fish. This is your chance to make acquaintance with the live on a houseboat. Amsterdam-North is a big quarter of Amsterdam. The quarter is more quiet than the busy centre of the city, special the Nieuwendammerkade with the waterfront at the back side and the woods of a big green park in front. From the Nieuwendammerkade you can reach the centre of the city pretty fast. After a walk of twelve minutes you can take the bus which will bring yo to the Central Station within ten minutes. All the local buses, the tramway and the subway will start from the Central Station Square (with tourist office, hiring out bicycles). Or rent a bicycle and drive like all the locals. Bicycles are easily rented in the neighbourhood. Book directly through bbnoorderlicht(dot)com Kind regards, Yvonne We can speak English, German and Dutch
