The Dutch capital is only home to about 800,000 people but draws up to 20 million tourists a year. Now, new policies are encouraging sustainable tourism to everyone.
Stephan Van Der Meer is the owner of Mike's Bike Tours, and he says he likes to take visitors cycling on under-the-radar routes that surprise them with a different side of Amsterdam. One of his favourite journeys is up to the NDSM Wharf in Amsterdam Noord ¬– a neighbourhood that was once a shipyard and is now teeming with street art, performance artists, outdoor markets and local vendors.
While Van Der Meer has mixed feelings about the city's new tourism policies, he said he looks forward to"working together with the government to see if we can spread out people a little more… to also show other parts of the Netherlands". There are also a number of bikeable cities near Amsterdam that Van Der Meer recommends visiting, including his hometown of Gouda, and Utrecht.Amsterdam is renowned for its many world-class museums and galleries.
