- Catching Some Rays in Amsterdam Parks: Despite the intense urbanization of central Amsterdam, the city has many green spaces in which to catch your breath on sunny days, the Vondelpark and the Westerpark among them.
- Cycling Anywhere in the Netherlands: Cycling is the Dutch national obsession; it’s healthy, it’s green, and Holland is flat. Jump on a bike and explore the countryside. MacBike in Amsterdam rents out bicycles.
- Enjoying Amsterdam’s Beaches: As a city without natural beaches, Amsterdam decided to create some. They are a haven for both visitors and local residents alike in summer.
