Attractions

Begijnhof

Visit the old centre of the city which dates back to medieval times.  Two medieval wooden houses can be found here. 

The Begijnhof is a late-medieval enclosed courtyard surrounded by the houses of Beguines. These were Roman Catholic women living in a semi-religious community.  House number 34 in Begijnhof is the oldest home in Amsterdam.

Westerkerk

Not the oldest of the five main churches in Amsterdam, but the Westerkerk definitely provides the best view.  The church is open and free for visitors from Monday to Friday, April through September. 

Located on the Westermarkt near the Anne Frank House, climb the tower with a guide, where in good weather you can see all of Amsterdam as far as the coast!  The perfect place to plot the rest of your sight-seeing journey with your hire car in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Homomonument

Stop by the very culturally significant and touching memorial to gays and lesbians murdered in World War II. 

Homomonument is a call for vigilance against homophobia and an inspiration for gays and lesbians the world over.  Located between the Westerkerk and the Keizersgracht canals.

Day Trips

Dappermarkt

Take your Amsterdam car hire out for a shopping trip to the Dappermarkt, voted best street market in the Netherlands! 

Pick up souvenirs, a couple of things for yourself or local produce.  Here you can find everything from clothes and flowers to furniture and vegetables.

Albert Cuypstraat

Plan for a lunch or dinner in the south of Amsterdam, get adventurous with your taste-buds and try Surinamese food.  One of the signature dishes here is Viaamse Frites, large french fries served with mayonnaise.

Molinos de Viento

Plan a scenic ride outside the city with your Amsterdam hire car to see the beautiful Dutch Windmills. 

The Amsterdam windmills were all originally outside city walls, which is why they are now located in Amsterdam West and Amsterdam South.  The nearest to the city centre are the De Gooyer in Plantage or the Molen van Sloten in the South.
