Lovely place if you want to take a break from a vibrant city life. It is not far away to cycle and in the forest of Amsterdam you can enjoy biking or walking. You can even hire a canoe every day. http://www.amsterdamsebos.nl/english/do/

Arts & Culture
Rijksmuseum Amsterdam
1 MuseumstraatMuseumplein
MuseumpleinMuseum of modern art. The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam is a must-see. It is the most important museum of modern and contemporary art and design in the Netherlands. Situated on Museumplein, where it first opened in 1895, the Stedelijk rubs shoulders with the world-famous Van Gogh Museum and Rijksmuseum
The historic Stedelijk building underwent extensive renovation, and has been expanded with the addition of a futuristic new wing. Affectionately known as “the bathtub” because of its smooth white exterior, the addition has been a huge hit with visitors since the museum’s reopening in 2012.
The Stedelijk Museum is a landmark that, like Amsterdam itself, offers a fantastic mix of old and new, traditional and hip. Our collection contains extraordinary art by world-renowned artists, including a great numberof works by major twentieth-century Dutch artists.
A visit to the Stedelijk takes you on a historical journey through the last 150 years of art.
