Where to take the kids for the\u00a0holiday? For example, in a city at the boundary between real and imaginary. Where the houses are on the canals<\/strong> and the bridges opens\u00a0by rotating so a boat can passes. Where you travel by bicycle<\/strong> and after less than half an hour from the city you are among cows<\/strong> in the pasture, and then you discover that every 200 meters there is a hidden garden<\/strong> or fantastic playground. Here are 10 places to discover in Amsterdam<\/strong> with the kids<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Cycling\u00a0from the city to the sea<\/h2>\n

Amsterdam doesn’t offers only coffee shops, night clubs, and picturesque canals: just a few kilometers away you can\u00a0discover a rural area full of charm. It is the Waterland region, north of the capital, characterized by green and blue expanses. To start our bike tour, you must get on the free Buikloterwegveer ferry that leaves behind Centraal Station. It will then be easy to follow the route, thanks to the numerous red and white signs. The circular route allows us to discover the polders<\/strong><\/em>, pieces of land reclaimed from the sea that are now covered with meadows<\/strong> and pastures<\/strong> and the lotus wetlands that together form an enchanting countryside<\/strong> populated by herons and other birds<\/strong>. Along the route of about 48 km you meet small villages<\/strong>, including Durgedam and Monnickendam<\/strong> characterized by small harbors<\/strong> and colorful historical centers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
