Harbour & Eastern Docklands
In the past 15 years, the crumbling shipyard and warehouse district that used to
be the city's fringe has morphed into a hub for cutting-edge Dutch architecture.
The sparkling Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ and terrific maritime museum beguile, but
mostly a visit here is about gawping at innovative structures. A scattering of bars
and restaurants make the most of their dramatic waterfront locations.

Getting There
Tram
Tram 10 has several stops in the docklands before ending its route on KNSM Eiland. Trams 25 and 26
go to the Muziekgebouw and the harbour's northeastern bits. It takes about 10 minutes to reach the neighbourhood
from Centraal Station.
