Centraal Station

We'll start by cycling just 5 minutes from the bike shop to the ferry dock behind Amsterdam Central Station, where we’ll board the boat with our bikes. As we set off across the water, you’ll enjoy a peaceful ride, with beautiful views of Amsterdam’s skyline in the distance. In just a few minutes, we'll arrive in Noord, a laid-back and less touristy area of the city. Here, the pace slows down, and the atmosphere is more relaxed, offering a refreshing change from the busy center. Noord’s creative vibe, quiet streets, and local charm make it the perfect spot to explore by bike, away from the crowds and hustle of the central districts.

We’ll park our bikes just outside Schoonschip, Amsterdam's pioneering floating village, and take a leisurely walk through this innovative and eco-conscious community. As we stroll along the tranquil canals, you’ll be amazed by the modern, sustainable houseboats that make up this unique neighborhood. Each home is a work of art, designed with green technology such as solar panels, green roofs, and cutting-edge water systems, all contributing to a lifestyle that’s both environmentally friendly and highly creative. The calm waters and serene atmosphere make Schoonschip feel like a hidden oasis, offering a fascinating look at Amsterdam’s commitment to sustainability and innovative urban living. This walk through the village is a chance to explore an entirely different side of the city, where design, nature, and community come together in perfect harmony.
