A Day in the Oude Zijde Morning
-
Morning
As the Oude Kerk does not open until 11am, start your day with a tour of the Museum Amstelkring . Although in the Nieuwe Zijde, it is only a few steps from the Oude Kerk , which you can visit afterwards. Then walk to Nieuwmarkt for a break at In de Waag (Nieuwmarkt 4), where you can sit outside in summer and watch the bustle of the square.
Afterwards, make your way to Oudezijds Achterburgwal for the Hash Marijuana Hemp Museum. Then follow the main drag of the Red Light district , Oudezijds Voorburgwal, as far as Café Rouxfor lunch.
Afternoon
Walk down to peaceful Grimburgwal and the House on the Three Canals. Agnietenkapel (now closed) is a few doors away. From here, head east to Oudezijds Achterburgwal and cut through Oudemanhuispoort (stone spectacles mark the entrance), browsing through the second-hand bookstalls as you go. Continue to Jodenbreestraat and the Museum Het Rembrandthuis . After your tour – if it is a Monday, Wednesday or Friday – pop into Pintohuisfor a glimpse of the painted ceiling. Revive yourself in Café de Sluyswacht. From here there is a lovely canalside walk, past the Montelbaanstoren. Turn left and stroll along Binnenkant before heading back to your hotel.
