ENTRAL AMSTERDAM HAS MORE THAN ENOUGH
to keep any visitor
occupied, but if time permits, it's certainly worth taking the trouble to
explore the outskirts, where a diverse selection of sights is on offer. Football
fans will want to make a beeline for the city's stunning new stadium,
Amsterdam ArenA, home of legendary soccer club Ajax. There are fascinating
exhibits on view at the Cobra Museum, the Tropenmuseum and NEMO. If you
are interested in architecture, make sure that you see the innovative 1920s
buildings of the De Dageraad housing estate. If it's peace and quiet you
want, there are several choices, including the small, historic town of
Ouderkerk aan de Amstel - older than Amsterdam itself - and the wide
open spaces of Amsterdamse Bos. The city's excellent transport system
makes all these sights easily accessible, and some of them are not far from
the centre - or from each other.
