Three Days in Amsterdam

Day One

After your day of travelling be greeted by the friendly reception team at PREMIER SUITES Amsterdam, as they guide you to your serviced apartment. Here you can unwind, drop your bags, and make use of your living room, fully equipped kitchen and bedroom – your home away from home.

At the hotel’s driveway, take a right for a 2-minute walk to the tram stop and take tram 5 to the Rijksmuseum of Amsterdam.

Only 15 minutes later you arrive at the breath-taking Rijksmuseum building. Declared the most beautiful museum in the world by TripAdvisor, the museum is one of the most famous museum in the world due to famous masterpieces in its collection like the self portrait of Van Gogh, the little street of Vermeer, The Happy Family of Jan Steen and Rembrandts Night Watch. The museum offers workshops, tours and theatre programmes for both locals and tourists.

When leaving the museum head north-east for a scenic walk alongside the beautiful and iconic Amsterdam canals. Amsterdam has over 100 kilometres of canal dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age. These canals create about 90 islands and 1.500 bridges.

These canals are beautiful from the side but the real view you get when watching from in the canal itself. At the end of the walk, you arrive at Flagship Amsterdam where you can hop on a cruise to get the full Amsterdam experience.

Day Two

Amsterdam Zuid is a few hundred meters from PREMIER SUITES PLUS Amsterdam. There you can hop on bus 52 and drive for 20 minutes to the town centre. In the town centre there are loads of fun activities to do. One of those fun activities is Madam Tussauds. Take a picture with Lady Gaga. How about a selfie with Albert Einstein? Madame Tussauds’ collection of wax figures is a great place for young and old. From popstars, world-class athletes to kings and queens of old.

Once you have worked up and appetite, you can get something to eat at the many snack bars in the Amsterdam city centre. These snack bars do not offer any haute cuisine by any stretch of the imagination. Quite the opposite. But their snacks are delicious nonetheless and are considered typical for the Belgian culture. The most popular snack are of course the iconic “French fries” or more accurately “Belgian fries”. A must try for anyone who never had them.

The Goat farm Ridammerhoeve, located in the middle of the forest the farm consists of a petting zoo, cheese factory and a playground. A fun activity for young and old.

Day Three

Just a short tram- or car ride away, you can visit De Pijp. De Pijp is a shopping area with a vast array of vintage, designer, and boutique shops to indulge in all your shopping cravings. Visit men store “Angel Agudo famous for its Scandinavian and Italian shoes, leather bags, scarfs and other accessories. They also have a salon that offers hair treatment and styling products. For the yoga lovers, there is also the yoga speciality shop “Yogisha”, the first yoga speciality store in the Netherlands.

Don’t forget to pack a picnic with you because just behind the corner of this popular shopping area is the quiet Sarphatipark where you can have a peaceful afternoon walk and picnic.

Beside the many museums in Amsterdam there are also several ancient and iconic churches worth a visit. Just a 30-minute walk and you’ll arrive at the “Old Church” or the “Oude Kerk” in Dutch. Not only is it a beautifully designed architectural masterpiece, it is also the oldest building in Amsterdam and has a rich and intriguing history. Fortunately, the new congregation kept the church in perfect condition and today its beautiful wooden roof is still intact.
