Details of Urban Adventure in Amsterdam: Cycle Amsterdam
Hop on a bicycle and travel around Amsterdam like a local! In the company of an expert local guide, you'll see the city on two wheels. We begin at Central Station, and head for the city’s infamous red light district. Then it's on to De Waag, what remains from the city walls that date from the 15th century. Nowadays the Waag is surrounded by Amsterdam's bustling central market, home to many coffee shops, restaurants and a delightful organic food market. We'll now head to the Nemo science centre, a striking ultra-modern building, designed to look like a ship moored on top of a car tunnel.
Now it's time to take in panoramic views over Amsterdam, from the public library. The library’s lovely terrace offers wonderful vistas over the city sprawled out below. Afterwards, we'll cycle down the waterfront and take in the Music Hall, the Borneo island and watch everyday life go by along the water, before heading to our final stop: a brewery located within one of the city's oldest Dutch windmills. Here you'll have the chance to try some of the local brew before pedalling back to Central Station.
