In addition to the city center, which is just 15 minutes by bicycle from Bed and Breakfast Amsterdam West, Amsterdam has much to offer.

 

B&B Amsterdam West is very close to the Sloterplas, a wonderful recreational area with numerous facilities. 

 

Of course there is a bicycle path around the lake, just over 6 km long. It's the perfect bicycle ride for those who find the busy city center a bit too extreme for cycling, but still want to show pictures of cycling adventures in Amsterdam.

Amsterdam Nieuw West Windmill - "De molen van Sloten"


The are seven windmills in Amsterdam. Five of them are on the West side of town. So if you want to see some windmills, but don't want to visit the touristic "Zaanse Schans" we can recommend renting a biycle and make a small biycle tour in Amsterdam West.

 

"The Molen van Sloten" in Amsterdam Nieuw-West is open to the public. 

The Rembrandt Sloten Windmill and Coopery Museum are 2 locations worth seeing under 1 roof. An original Poldermill and a museum where you can see how barrels are being manufactured. Daily conducted tours through the Mill.
