Gaasperplas Park

The Gaasperplas is a recreational area and nature reserve with a lake and water sports centre, offering canoeing, swimming, rowing, sailing and windsurfing. The Gaasperplas area was used as the site of the Floriade garden show in 1982, and later turned into a public park.

OSCAM

At the Open Space Contemporary Art Museum (OSCAM) on the Bijlmerplein you will find a place where art, fashion, design and craftsmanship in the Bijlmer come together. It is a museum in the Amsterdamse Poort shopping center in the Zuidoost district. They are located in the old Cool Cat building, diagonally opposite the KFC, between the Panda Bubble Tea Bar and Hunkemöller. You understand, between the fast food chicken, Instagram drinks and sexy lingerie, there is of course a great need for art and culture.

Creative Community Heesterveld

The colourful Heesterveld Creative Community is nestled in an unlikely location between the motorway and office buildings. In the past, this block of flats was a no-go area, but these days it has been transformed into a lively cultural breeding ground, with ateliers in the former basement storage rooms and the artists' homes above.

Amsterdamse Poort

At this modern shopping centre in Amsterdam Zuidoost, you'll find not only the standard C&As and Coolcats that grace many Dutch high streets, but also lots of exotic eateries, delis and tokos (Indonesian takeaways).

Yemayá’s Vegan Corner
