Staatsliedenbuurt Branch Amsterdam Public Library (OBA Staatsliedenbuurt)

The Staatsliedenbuurt branch of the Amsterdam Public Library is located in Amsterdam’s Westerpark area near the Jordaan. The library houses a varied collection of over 150 magazine titles and over 25,000 books and other items offering everything from graphic novels to travel guides. Visitors can take their time exploring the collection from the branch’s coffee shop or many work and study areas. The collection includes reading materials for all ages, from the BoekStart beginner reader collection for babies, to large print titles for seniors.

Huize Frankendael

The Huize Frankendael is a cultural hotspot for business and culture in Amsterdam. The complex comprises a brasserie, culture barn, music salon, high-tech boardroom, art room and a lush green garden with a bright terrace. The Huize Frankendael hosts various exhibitions, workshops, presentations, kids craft days, wedding ceremonies, scavenger hunts, films, inspirational meetings and informal theatrical performances. An intimate living room style atmosphere provides all the right ingredients for real contact and good discussion.

Oosterpark

The Oosterpark is a large city park located in Amsterdam Oost. This open green space is filled with ponds and streams, a wading pool for children and plenty of walking paths. Considered Amsterdam’s most multicultural park, it draws a diverse local crowd and hosts a variety of festivals throughout the summer. There is also a 'speaker’s stone', where people speak their minds every Sunday at 13:00.

Kijkhuisje Sijtje Boes

Schokland

You once lived high and dry on Schokland in a river delta and later on an island in the Zuiderzee. It was living with water. Now the rugged island with its various mounds is clearly visible in the otherwise sleek Noordoostpolder.

De Hallen Branch Amsterdam Public Library (OBA De Hallen)

De Hallen branch of the Amsterdam Public Library is housed in a former tram depot that gives it its name. The collection caters to both adults and children alike. De Hallen branch offers a BoekStart (beginner reader's) corner for the youngest readers and hosts storytime sessions every Wednesday afternoon for children from 4 years of age. But within the tram depot building, visitors will find so much more than a library. De Hallen complex also houses a hotel, TV studio, cinema, food hall and an art loan gallery.

Slavernijmonument

Slavernijmonument (slavery monument)

The Netherlands officially abolished slavery in the colonies of Suriname and the Dutch Antilles in July 1863. In 2002 (139 years later), Surinamese sculptor Erwin de Vries was selected to design a memorial for this dark period. The sculpture is located in the Oosterpark and is made up of three elements. The first represents slavery’s dark and dramatic history, the second represents breaking through the wall of resistance in the modern day, and the third element represents the longing for freedom and a better future.

The branch has an extensive collection with a special focus on crime and literary fiction. It offers a good collection of beginner books and a BoekStart (beginner reader's) corner for young readers.

Molen Het Prinsenhof

Grote Kerk

This Great Church, of cathedral dimensions, is one of Edam's proudest possessions. Its latest restoration took as long as 18 years, being eventually completed in 1980. 
It is not known exactly when the church was founded, but it was definitely after the Kleine Kerk and probably at the beginning of the 15th century. Edam suffered two very extensive fires in 1602 and 1699, both of which had apparently been caused by lightning striking the church tower.

Vondelkerk

The charming Vondelkerk (Vondel Church) stands at the edge of the Vondelpark and was used as a church from 1880 to 1977. Today it houses the offices of a few small businesses. The beautiful former church space also hosts concerts and is rented out for special occasions, including weddings, formal dinners and meetings.
