Take a day drive through Muiden and spend a day at Muiderslot Castle
One of the great historic treasures of the town of Muiden and Amsterdam, the Muiderslot Castle has now been set to its former glory and is prepared to celebrate its 132nd anniversary as a museum this 2010. Muiden means rivermouth and aptly gives a clue to the castles location and Muiderslot was in a good location indeed, it being used as an ammunitions depot during the Medieval Period and as residence to many prominent figures prior to that evident in its collection of medieval arms, painting and armories. Having survived a demolition attempt from the government on several occasions in the year 1954 before the local government unit stepped in and declared the castle as an impotant historical site in Amsterdam and the town of Muiden itself, the castle is now set to invite many tourists to take part in its affairs and history. All of its rooms down to its kitchen are now fully restored to its original state when it was built by the count Floris V. For those interested, the castle is just a short drive from Amsterdam or one can take a bus going to Muiden Proper and walk a few minutes going to the castle itself.
Conquering the City of Cycles by Foot
For all the intimacy and camaraderie Amsterdam has related to the sport and leisure of cycling, an even better way to check out this city of variances is the slower pace of ones choosing: walking. Walking is a great way to see the city because most of the attractions are close enough to each other that its possible to do so anyway. When a good sense of direction and discipline is available, then a map will be the only instrument youll need. If not, try to book a walking tour through the Amsterdam Tourism and Convention Board. The Amsterdam Tourism and Convention Board offer many walking tours depending on the priorities of the individual, from discovering Amsterdams City Centre or off to the Jordaan District to going to a more pinpointed theme like discovering the different Jewish Quarters or going through the Latin part of Amsterdam, Pijp. Each tour will take about 3 to 4 hours, and since theres no transportation mode involved, will come out cheaper than any tour found in the market.
What to do and Where to go in Westerpark Amsterdam
The greatest attraction is of course its namesake, Westerpark, which is a stunning combination of park and people along with strategically placed in waterscapes that allow locals and visitors to lounge around in the park all day long. But aside from Westerpark itself, there are many cinemas, galleries, unique structures, restaurants and cafes to go to. First off, when its unique architecture that youre looking for, head on to Amsterdam School and Silodam. Silodam is a fascinating building to watch especially since it looks suspended on water and was designed by one of the most famous architectural greats, MVRDV. After the foot tour, go to a restaurant, maybe WestergasTerras where a nice view awaits through their terraces or to Rainarai for some authentic Algerian cuisine. If youre on a budget, head on to Caf Restaurant Amsterdam, a historic structure which was once a 1900s engine room, now a favorite hangout place of Amsterdammers in Westerpark. Happy strolling!
