Discover Amsterdam’s Hidden Gems
While Amsterdam’s iconic spots like the Anne Frank House and Van Gogh Museum draw crowds, the city is also home to lesser-known treasures waiting to be explored. Just a short walk from Hotel Schroder is the Westerpark, an urban oasis that blends nature with culture, featuring art installations and trendy eateries. Further north, take the free ferry to NDSM Wharf, a former shipyard turned creative hotspot, where you can enjoy live music, art exhibitions, and food festivals.
For a quiet retreat, visit Begijnhof, a hidden courtyard steeped in history, or explore the narrow alleys of De Negen Straatjes for boutique shopping and quirky finds. Bibliophiles will appreciate the Openbare Bibliotheek Amsterdam, a modern library with stunning views of the city. Amsterdam Noord, with its A’DAM Lookout tower and urban beaches, offers adventure and relaxation alike. These hidden gems add depth to your visit and show you a side of Amsterdam few tourists experience.
