Container housing

Housing in Amsterdam is expensive, but there are options. Student housing provider DUWO is currently renting out affordable container houses. This initiative will stop in 2020 when a further development stage will see a number of vacant properties allocated to refugees.

Johan Cruijff Foundation

Stadionplein

Johan Cruijff's first home

This was the former home of the Cruijff family and the place where Johan spent his formative years. More than a year before the birth of Johan, the Cruijff family moved from the Jordaan to this house in Betondorp. Though it looks small, the house was apparently large enough for the family's greengrocer business. Opposite the house, you'll find 'Het Poortje' which is where Johan and his brother Henny played football when it rained. It was inevitable that a window would be smashed.

P.L Kramerbrug Amsterdam Wikimedia Common

De P.L. Kramerbrug

The P.L. Kramer Bridge was designed by architect Piet Kramer while he worked as the aesthetic advisor for the Municipality of Amsterdam in the early 1920s. This bridge built in the style of the Amsterdam School, goes over the Noorder Amstel canal next to the Amsteldijk.

Muiden

The fortified town of Muiden sits near the IJmeer, just east of Amsterdam. It dates back to the 10th century and is now known for its peaceful streets, small cafés, historic landmarks and picturesque harbour. The town is a key link in the Defence Line of Amsterdam, a 135 km-long fortification that once protected the city from invaders. Pass through Muiden’s centuries-old walls and prepare for a stroll through one of the country’s oldest communities.

Kasteel Museum Sypesteyn

After a 500-year lineage, Henri van Sypesteyn (1857-1937) was the final living testament to the van Sypesteyn family; he built Castle-Museum Sypesteyn in Loosdrecht to preserve this heritage and ensured that generations to come could benefit from his family’s wealth and learn from its history.

Staalmeestershuis

The Drapers Guild

This house is a distinguished example of a house from the Dutch Golden Age. It is one of the few remains of Het Staalhof previously located here. Rembrandt's painting De Staalmeesters portrays the drapers at work in this house.

Geitenboerderij Ridammerhoeve

Geitenboerderij Ridammerhoeve (Goat farm)

Goat Farm Ridammerhoeve is situated right in the heart of the Amsterdamse Bos. On this organic farm there are goats, chickens, cows, pigs, a horse and a pony. 
In the cellar they make cheese, yoghurt, buttermilk, butter, fresh cheese and even ice cream from goatmilk.

Kunstfort bij Vijfhuizen

The monumental Fort at Vijfhuizen is one of the first concrete buildings in the Netherlands and is part of the Defense Line of Amsterdam, a large-scale 19th-century defense plan declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. The island is surrounded by distinctive examples of Dutch spatial planning, such as the 19th-century polder landscapes and the 20th-century Vinex architecture.

Forteiland IJmuiden

The Forteiland IJmuiden is an island fortress located near the town of IJmuiden, in the mouth of the North Sea Canal. It was constructed in the 1880s to help defend the surrounding area and restrict shipping traffic heading for Amsterdam. This iconic post is actually half underground and is the largest building in the Defence Line of Amsterdam – a UNESCO world monument.

Country Estate Beeckestijn

The Beeckestijn gardens are an outdoor museum.

Scheepvaarthuis (Shipping House)

The Scheepvaarthuis (Shipping House) is considered a masterpiece of the “Amsterdamse School” architectural style. It was built between 1912 and 1916 by architect Van der Mey, to be used as a head office by Amsterdam’s most prominent shipping companies. The interior is extraordinarily beautiful, featuring works by Krop, Kramer and De Klerk, among other artists.

Amstelzijde

The Amstelzijde was an important stopover in the 17th century, nowadays it is a lovely neighbourhood. The cafes and restaurants are part of the attraction of the Amstelzijde, which is why it is so nice to take a break here for something to eat and drink. Go to Loetje aan de Amstel or Ron Gastrobar Indonesia: your taste buds will thank you.
