Editors’ tip

If you are visiting Amsterdam and would like to explore nature, rent a bicycle for the day! There are plenty of opportunities around Amsterdam. There are countless beautiful routes but we highly recommend the route along the Amstel river, which allows you to explore the beautiful water-rich area near Amsterdam.
