Weesp 

 

In this small fortified town on the Vecht you will find all nice little shops and many restaurants where you can sit at a terrace and enjoy a delicious meal.

Amsterdam

 

I don’t think I have much to say about Amsterdam. Here it’s nice to stroll along the canals and squares where you can go shopping, soak up culture at the Rijksmuseum or take a canal cruise. You’ll also find terraces and restaurants everywhere where you can enjoy yourself.

 

Rijksmuseum

 

The Rijksmuseum is 29 km away from the B&B and is one of the sixteen national museums in the Netherlands. The collection offers an overview of art and history, including works by 17th-century Dutch masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Hals.

Anne Frank huis

 

The Anne Frank House is 30 km from the B&B and is a must-see if you are going to visit Amsterdam. Here the life of Anne Frank during the war is highlighted while she was hiding in the Secret Annex.

Van Gogh museum

 

The Van Gogh museum is 29 km from our B&B and is entirely dedicated to the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh.

Cruise

 

A canal cruise is also something you don’t want to miss. All those different facades and bridges are fantastic to see.
