How to get there
If you come by plane take the train to Central Station and then the bus number 43 direction Borneo-Eiland. Get out at Azartplein. Just walk to Levantkade in 3 minutes. Walking on Levantkade take the jetty on your right side. You will see the number 42 of our ship in the wheelhouse.
If you come by train just follow the description above from Central Station.
If you take the car you can park on public spots right on the street. Please notice that parking is €4,50 per hour (€40,50 per day) in Amsterdam. You can better take the P&R Zeeburg and take the tram 26 from there to Rietlanden (1 station) and step over to tram 10 (two stations to Azartplein).
About the area
Our houseboat is located in a historic part of Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Docklands, from where in ancient days the cargo-ships used to sail to the East. Nowadays, this area has been transformed into a picturesque architectonic quarter where the living is easy, with all the facilities you may need like: pubs, restaurants and a shopping centre.
