Round North: from the NDSM to Gedempt Hamerkanaal – the YLBB cycling route

On weekends, I love spending time in the North with my husband, exploring new and familiar hotspots. The space makes it so much fun to be out and about with kids! I've made this one before. walk through Amsterdam North, which is still fun. But what is really hot and happening now is the Poppy Corner and the Filled-in Hammer Canal.

Looking for a fun route to keep you busy all day? Start at the ferry from Amsterdam Central Station to the NDSM Wharf. Check out some street art, grab a delicious sandwich at Kometen, or have Sunday lunch at Boyfriend. Want to see more art? Then pop in to the STREET Museum – big tip!

Then cycle along the Papaverweg towards Fluff of Cafe Restaurant Metro. Salad Fig not over for a bit of vintage shopping, or cycle on towards the Poppy Corner. Think of places like Butterfly, V12 of Cafe Soleil.There's a good chance there are still many addresses you haven't visited yet.

With kids is Sans in the Noorderpark Highly recommended – located where Pompet was located for years. End your route at the Filled-in Hammer Canal with a snack Tula, Try, Barracuda, Europizza of KwieKwieA bite here, a drink there... or just hang out. It's up to you!
