Marine Terrain Amsterdam

Marine Terrain

Amsterdam's best-kept secret

Parks in Amsterdam are packed with people, especially in summer. So my recommendation for a nice spot where you can also swim is "Marine Terrain!"

Flevopark Amsterdam

Flevopark

Hidden gem of a park

"Flevopark" in Amsterdam is a hidden gem of a park! You can barbeque wherever you want here and it's way less crowded than other parks like the Vondelpark.

Westerpark

My beautiful backyard

"Westerpark" is fairly quiet for Amsterdam standards. I am here almost every day of the week, and I feel like I've explored all it has to offer...

OBA

Public library

"OBA", the public library in Amsterdam's Oosterdok, has all the usual books to borrow, but I like going to the basement & reading a newspaper in the quiet.
