What You Need to Know For an Amazing Amsterdam Adventure

Let's say you want the essential biking experience but without the nightmare of the crowds. If that's the case, I have the perfect solution for you, as those were my exact thoughts, too.

Here's what you can do: rent bikes in the city, then hop on the ferry and ride it across the river to the small, rural village known as Durgerdam. What you will find here is space and lots of it! With lush, green farmland as far as your eyes can see, you'll feel like you've entered another world. Yet you're just a stone's throw from Amsterdam's city center.
