Best Amsterdam-Bos en Lommer holiday apartments

Bos en Lommer is a residential area just a couple of kilometres northwest of Amsterdam’s city centre. It is a modest neighbourhood with lots of families and far more locals than tourists. With a holiday apartment in Bos en Lommer from 9flats you could be staying among these residents, learning how the real people of Amsterdam live and getting a far more authentic view of the city. Your holiday accommodation in Bos en Lommer from 9flats is much like couchsurfing in 9flats but with the added privacy and comfort of your own room or apartment. If you really want to get to grips with the city and understand its people then a holiday apartment in Bos en Lommer could be the ideal choice for your visit to Amsterdam.

Exploring from your holiday apartment in Bos en Lommer

Bos en Lommer was named after a farm that once occupied the area and means ‘Forest and shade’. It may be still somewhat accurate as Bos en Lommer is bordered to the north by the Westerpark, with Sloterpark to the southwest. Erasmuspark is within the area. All these green spaces are one of the reasons that the area attracts families, along with a strong sense of community and attractive open air market square at Bos en Lommerplein. Bos en Lommer is also convenient for the city centre and has good road communications via the A10. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Amsterdam that is close to the attractions of the city but has its own quiet neighbourhood feel, then Bos en Lommer could be for you.

An alternative to your holiday accommodation in Bos en Lommer

If you would prefer something even closer to the city centre then a holiday apartment in Jordaan would make a good choice. Jordaan lies adjacent to the famous Canal Ring area of the city, just to the west. Originally a working class area to serve those more wealthy residents of the Canal Ring, it has now undergone a process of gentrification and has become more attractive to tourists. This dense maze of narrow streets has many hidden squares, with traditional cafes and art galleries. It also features some of Amsterdam’s best markets, particularly the Noordermarkt, with a flea market on Monday mornings and organic farmers’ market on Saturdays.

Moving on from Bos en Lommer

For many people, Amsterdam is Holland but they are missing out on gems like The Hague. A holiday apartment in The Hague will see you staying in this impressive, cosmopolitan city, with fine buildings in broad avenues, some of the best food in Holland and even its own seaside resort in Scheveningen. Leaving Holland, a short trip south will take you to a holiday apartment in Paris where you can certainly enjoy more great food and admire some of the world’s greatest art collections. Travelling with 9flats really does broaden the mind and with these prices, it needn’t thin your wallet. Book your apartment in Bos en Lommer now for some excellent deals on authentic accommodation.
