Things to do and see
What are the most interesting things to see and do while staying in Amsterdam?
Explore Amsterdam by boat
The Ambassade Hotel is situated on one of the beautiful main canals, the Herengracht. With all that water it would be a pity not to get on board a floating vessel and explore Amsterdam’s canals. There are a number of excellent tour operators offering a variety of canal cruise experiences – from open-top sightseeing by day to romantic candlelit dinner cruises at night.

Visit our City Zoo
In 1838 the Netherlands’ best-known zoo (Artis) opened its doors. Over the years, Artis has grown and today accommodates many ape varieties, small mammals, nocturnal animals, reptiles, hoofed animals, elephants, predators and birds. Artis is open to visitors every day of the year.
The Medieval Beguinage
‘Het Begijnhof’ (located at 150 metres from the Ambassade Hotel) was built in the fourteenth century as a place of residence for devout women who nevertheless did not want to enter a convent. The oldest house in Amsterdam, with a wooden façade from about 1475, can also be seen here. Its well-maintained cottages and gardens make for an atmosphere of rural calm, despite the many people who come to the Beguinage each year.
Learn everything about Art
Visit the many museums Amsterdam has to offer and immerse yourself in Art and Culture. The main museums are The Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and the Stedelijk Museum, all within walking distance from the hotel.
