Attractions and sights

Attractions

IJmuiden aan Zee Beach

IJmuiden aan Zee has one of the nicest beaches in the Noord Holland province. The extraordinarily wide beach has four pavilions that are open all year round. IJmuiden aan Zee has a blue flag beach, the international rating for the cleanest and safest beaches. The Seaport Marina provides direct access to the sea and offers many facilities like restaurants, shops and a trampoline centre.

Low Lighthouse (Lage Vuurtoren)

The ‘low’ lighthouse in IJmuiden is a round, reddish-brown, cast iron tower designed by Quirinus Harder.

Rembrandtpark

Located in Amsterdam West, the Rembrandtpark is an ideal place to sit out in the sun and enjoy a picnic. The park is a green oasis with ponds, playgrounds and walking and biking paths. You can also visit De Uylenburg, the oldest petting zoo in Amsterdam.

Keukenhof Castle

Take a look outside Amsterdam and visit the centuries-old Keukenhof Estate in Lisse. People know it from the worldwide famous flower exhibition, but there is more! The estate has a castle and is also the setting for many other activities. Outside the opening of the Keukenhof flower exhibition, you can go for a walk to the surrounding estate for free all year round.

Waterski

Cablepark Almere

Calling all (water-based) thrill-seekers! Spend a day whizzing around the Weerwater lake on waterskis or a wakeboard, aided by a kilometre-long cable track that allows users to reach speeds of up to 30km/ph

Begijnhof

The Begijnhof is one of Amsterdam's best known hofjes (almshouses). It consists of a group of houses built around a secluded courtyard and garden which provided modest homes for the Beguines - a group of unmarried religious women who lived together in a close community under vows of chastity.

Boat Bike Tours

Enjoy the best of both of worlds while in the Netherlands: Boat Bike Tours is a specialist in active holidays and tours that combines cycling and cruising on the water. Cycle through the distinctive landscapes of the Netherlands, visiting different cities, sights and major tourist attractions. Discover the provinces of Noord and Zuid Holland or the beautiful IJsselmeer lake during an eight-day all-in tour by bike and boat. Throughout your trip your accommodation follows you, as you sleep in a boat that meets you at each stop, so you needn’t even repack every day.

Capital C

Buiksloterkerk

The attractive Buiksloterkerk is hidden behind the picturesque houses on the Buiksloterdijk, part of the old Waterlandse Zeedijk. The attractive interior is decorated with a beautiful pulpit and a special organ by the famous Amsterdam organ builder H. ter Hart. Concerts, theater performances and various social events are organized in the Buiksloterkerk. The church is also available for rental.

Jeruzalemkerk

Defence Line of Amsterdam

The Defence Line of Amsterdam is a 135-kilometre ring of fortifications around Amsterdam. Built between 1880 and 1914, it was an addition to the Hollandse Waterlinies (Dutch Water Lines). This was an ingenious system to flood the surrounding land to a depth of between 30 and 50 centimetres, making it too deep to march through and too shallow to navigate by boat. The capital city would thus be well protected against invasion. The Defence Line of Amsterdam was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996.
