Parkzijde is situated in a vibrant neighbourhood, with shops and restaurants from all over the world nearby. A few minutes walk brings you to the “Dappermarkt”, a little known, but very nice multi-cultural market. The Tropical Museum is on the other side of the Oosterpark. A little further on you’ll find a working wind mill “De Gooijer” and a brewery which produces our famous local beer, “Het IJ”.

How far are we from the city-centre?
Tram 9 runs nearby and takes you in 10 minutes to the Dam, the heart of the city. Also very close are Trams 3 and 7, which circle the city-centre and allow you to reach attractions such as the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum and Leidseplein within 10 minutes.
The RAI can be reached easily by metro, as a metro station is also near.

On foot you can reach many other special attractions. Within 15-20 minutes, you’ll find the Amstel river, Albert Cuyp market, the Eastern canals, the old harbour area, the Zoo Artis, Rembrandt House, Oude Schans, Opera House, Waterlooplein and the Scheepvaartmuseum (the Maritime Museum).

With its many bicycle paths, exploring Amsterdam on bike is irresistible and you can rent a bike in many places in the city.
