Oosterpark and The Tropenmuseum - Amsterdam
Amsterdam can be a very easy city to navigate. Its neighborhoods are named for the cardinal directions - Noord, sud, oost and west. Since I was staying in the Oost neighborhood, I decided to spend my first day in Amsterdam waking around that part of the city. both photos via www.oncampus.global My base of operations was The Social Hub . The Hub is more than a hotel. It serves also as student housing, an event space, and co-working/conference center. This produces a very young and relaxed vibe. My room, a single, was small, but the lobby was huge. There, I found a wonderful cafe which offered excellent coffee and and pastries for breakfast, and sandwiches and snacks throughout the day. There were booths and tables that were filled with students doing class work, studying together, or just hanging out. There was also an on-site laundry (free) and a restaurant. The staff was wonderful, helpful, and one of the happiest hotel hotel staffs I have ever seen. Oosterpark Map by Buro...
