Five unique spots in the ‘Plantagebuurt’

Cruising the ‘Plantagebuurt’ route you get to see some modern architecture of Amsterdam. How about the Nemo Science Center? Futuristic from the inside and out. Also you will find the National Maritime Museum on this route. This recently renovated museum is definitely worth taking a picture. Continuing the cruise you enter the heart of the ‘Plantagebuurt’, the most green part of Amsterdam. The boat passes directly by the Hortus Botanicus gardens and the Artis zoo and for a moment you feel like you are in nature instead of a city.
