Walking down the Amstel – Relaxing

Image by Patty de Gruiter

With fall and winter coming up, this is a great time to walk. Leaves are falling down, sporting great colours and just looking over the water and feeding the ducks is relaxing.

You can walk along the Amstel, starting at the Waterlooplein. If you walk on the Waterlooplein side of the Amstel towards the East, you pass:

- the Hermitage, a cultural and historical museum that opened June 20, 2009.- Carre, the most beautiful theater in the Netherlands,- the Amstel Hotel, the most prestigious hotel of the World,- after that a long boulevard with bridges, trees, people jogging, restaurants and bycicles,- and after a long walk, you just walk out of Amsterdam right into the small village of Oudekerk aan de Amstel. This is really a picture perfect village and a must go to.

If you really want to have a nice dinner, make a reservation at Brasserie Paardenburg by chef Herman den Blijker. Do not forget to bring your wallet!

Personally, I love to walk along the Amstel when there is nobody in the early morning on Sunday. I will bring my book, sit, relax, read and watch people passing by. After that, just go in and drink a coffee. This is my perfect Sunday morning!!!
