5x cooling spots in Amsterdam

This weekend promises to be tropically warm. To escape the city heat, MASTERS shares some of Amsterdam's many watery addresses. Put the swimsuit and sunglasses in the bag: here you are this weekend - but, don't forget the sunburn... 

Swimming beach Sloterplas

On the northwest side of Sloterplas is Sloterplas Beach. Beach chairs, umbrellas, food trucks, picnic tables and even a real beach volleyball field. There is also a water sports center nearby, so taking a supboard, pedal boat or canoe onto the lake is also an option. Plenty to do, but more importantly an excellent place to cool off. It is wise to check the water quality prior to your visit at this website. The municipality warns that the water is not always of good quality.

Pllek

For a vacation feeling in your own city, this is an excellent place to spend a day. After all, relaxation is paramount here. The trendy waterfront restaurant has a kitchen that is open all day. You can have dinner, lunch or just a drink here. Little tip; do come early, because on a sunny day, the spots are scarce.

Cape

On a fertile frayed edge of our capital city, this urban beach - by its own admission - swings the gates wide open to a haven of uninhibited entertainment and sustainable enjoyment. In addition to cocktails and wines, Kaap brings a special menu. During your beach day, you can come here for both a casual snack to elaborate dining.

Bredius Pool

Do you prefer the coolness of a swimming pool anyway? In the quiet and green surroundings at the edge of the Spaarndammer neighborhood lies the Brediusbad. Also good news for those afraid of cold water: the pool is heated.

Beach South 

An oasis of tranquility, the feeling of coziness and of summer. On a surprising spot behind the RAI Amsterdam, on the water you will find Strandzuid. The ultimate place for a special beer on the terrace, sunbathing in the middle of the city or a dinner during a sultry summer evening .
