See how The Public Library Geuzenveld makes visits accessible for people with disabilities. (information is in Dutch)

Geuzenveld Branch Amsterdam Public Library (OBA Geuzenveld)

Located near Lambertus Zijlplein square, the Geuzenveld branch of the Amsterdam Public Library is housed in the Pluspunt building together with the local Huis van de Wijk (community centre). 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.

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.

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.

Loosdrechtse Plassen

Waterborne fun is never far away at this recreational area to the south of Amsterdam, dominated by five interconnecting lakes known as the Loosdrechtse Plassen. The lakes are perfect for water sports: sailing, rowing, canoeing, waterskiing and speedboating are all possible here. If taking a boat out yourself is not your thing, then join a sailboat or speedboat excursion, or just relax on a terrace and admire the view from dry land.

Zuiver Amsterdam

Zuiver Amsterdam, the luxurious wellness centre, offers plenty of
different ways to relax and rejuvenate. At their gorgeous location in the Amsterdamse Bos, guests will find eight saunas, a variety of baths, cosy relaxation rooms, and a forty-metre long, partially-covered pool that will help guarantee a refreshing experience for all.
