Entertainment & Activities
The Movies is very beautiful and the best art-house cinema I know. I visit it with great pleasure for many years now. You can randomly pick a movie and expect it to be of quality. Highly recommended!

Take the boat to "Buiksloterplein", that leaves behind the Central Station and visit the EYE film museum. It's a great place to have a drink, watch a film, or visit the film museum itself.
