Highlights from Reviews
• convenient free ferry
The ferry across the river is very convenient, free, and offers a great way to escape the busy city streets.
• scenic views
There are huge views over the water, especially from the boulevard behind Central Station, and beautiful views of the Amsterdam skyline from the ferries.
• relaxing atmosphere
It's a nice place to stay a while, resting and eating, with many benches along the water for relaxation.
• interesting sights
There is always something to see, with Damen shipyards, the ferry shuttling, and a little island in the middle of it all.
• good for walks
Recommended for a nice early evening walk along the quays, offering plenty to observe.
