Location and Transport

Located in Amsterdam-Noord, the houseboat is 3 km from the city center. It is 2.5 km from The National Maritime Museum, 3 km from Our Lord in the Attic Museum, and 1.2 mi from Shopping center Buikslotermeerplein. Schiphol Airport is 15 km away. Free public parking is available nearby.

“Houseboat Vliegenbos offers a distinctive Amsterdam experience, trading standard hotel rooms for a modern houseboat stay on the canal. The inclusion of a full kitchen and outdoor terrace enhances the sense of independent living, while the location balances quiet relaxation with convenient access to the city center. In my opinion, its appeal lies in providing both a unique accommodation and a family-friendly atmosphere.”
