This information kiosk, housed inside a charming building located on the Middenweg in Middenbeemster, is a great place to begin a day spent exploring the surrounding municipality of Beemster. It offers booklets, pamphlets and maps that will help you organise your day, in addition to books about the area's history and culture.

NAP Bezoekerscentrum

NAP Visitors Centre

Did you know that as much as 60% of Holland lies below sea level? Do you ever wonder why the country isn't flooded and how people know how high to build the dikes? This is all related to the NAP (Normaal Amsterdams Peil) – a reference measurement of the city’s water level. The measurement is also known as the Amsterdam Ordnance Datum.

NewWerktheater

A creative hub in a former theatre, featuring exhibitions by contemporary artists, fashion shows and special movie nights. You can also pop by for breakfast, lunch and state-of-the-art coffee every day, and Friday evening for dinner.

Moskee El Mohammadi

Watermolen de 1200 Roe

Water mill 1200 Roe

Not many people are aware that the city of Amsterdam has 8 windmills - one of them being Water mill 1200 Roe. This octagonal windmill was originally used to keep the Osdorperbinnenpolder swamp area dry. It had this function until around 1950, when it was no longer necessary. Water mill 1200 Roe is now owned by the city of Amsterdam and is permanently inhabited.

Molen De Bleeke Dood

silverline architectuur almere

Silverline

The middle floors of an apartment block are harder to sell, so the lower five and upper seven storeys were given greater volume than the middle four. The result is a robust building with aluminium cladding which sparkles on bright days and which flames in the light of the setting sun.

Kaaspakhuis de Koophandel

This traditional Dutch cheese warehouse is located along a picturesque canal in Edam and is owned by Gestam, a company that exports cheeses to several corners of the globe. Since 1916, it's been used to help mature various types of cheese. They offer tastings during certain days of the week. Check the website for details and opening hours.

Grote Kerk Oosthuizen

Liberal Jewish Community Synagogue

The Liberal Jewish Community (LJG) of Amsterdam is a dynamic and growing Jewish community with over 1,700 members. Of the ten liberal Jewish communities in the Netherlands, Amsterdam’s is the largest. The various communities are united under the Dutch Union for Progressive Judaism (Het Verbond van Liberaal Religieuze Joden in Nederland). The LJG plays an active role in the inter-religious dialogue in Amsterdam.

Trippenhuis

Trippenhuis (Trip House)

The Trippenhuis (Trip House) was built in 1666 for two wealthy brothers named Lodewijk and Hendrick Trip. At 22 metres wide, it is the most spacious residence in Amsterdam. The house was designed by Justus Vingboons, the younger brother of the better-known Philip Vingboons. The two designed a number of different houses in Amsterdam for VOC (Dutch East India Company) administrators and well-off merchants.

Silodam

The Silodam is a modern apartment building located on the embankment between the Houthavens (timber docklands) and the IJ River. The striking design by MVRDV architects is reminiscent of haphazard chest of draws, thanks to the 17 different styles and colours of cladding used on the façade.

WoZoCo's - Ookmeerweg - Oklahoma

WoZoCo (Oklahoma)

The WoZoCo apartments (also known as Oklahoma) are situated in Osdorp, on the southwest edge of Amsterdam. These apartments for the elderly are of special architectural interest. Certain blocks stick out of the flat at crazy angles with huge overhangs, seeming to defy gravity.

Amsterdam Central Station

Amsterdam Central Station is Amsterdam’s main railway station, located in the heart of the city. The station itself is one of Amsterdam’s most impressive buildings and it used by more than 250,000 passengers each day.

Homomonument

Designed by Amsterdam-born artist Karin Daan in 1979, Amsterdam's  Homomonument (gay monument) was the first of its kind. It was commissioned by the Homomonument society and was officially unveiled in September 1987 at the Westermarkt.
