TIPS & To Do's Amsterdam - East
Buurten
Amsterdam-Oost / Amsterdam-East
Due to the apartments central location in the eastside of town, the citycenter can be easily reached by foot. But Amsterdam East itself is one of the nicest neighborhoods of the city, so there is a good chance that you will leave the citycenter a day for what it is…
Wander around the Oosterpark, or visit one of the many good restaurants or bars it has to offer. Attach a walk to it; then you see much more of the cozy neighborhood!
