Westergasfabriek

Westerpark Fodor's choice

Located within Westerpark, the Westergasfabriek is a former gas factory that, in 2003, was refurbished into a cultural hot spot and is now home to many festivals and exhibitions throughout the year. A handful of venues are located along the promenade running parallel to the spacious Westerpark, including restaurants, an arthouse movie theater, and an old-school arcade bar. There's even a branch of the Conscious Hotel, a small petting zoo and a market on the first Sunday of the month. Springtime visitors, don’t miss the sakura cherry blossoms when they take over Westerpark.

Woonbootmuseum

There are over 2,500 houseboats in Amsterdam, including one especially for cats—the Poezenboot (Cat Boat) sanctuary opposite Singel 38. At the Houseboat Museum, a converted 1914-built freighter, the Hendrika Maria, provides a glimpse into this unique lifestyle.
