The locals in the Netherlands like to get around by bicycles, so we thought we would go local and go cycling around North Holland, the Waterland area. The route is only around 25km and it is a very easy day trip.
We rented our bikes from a shop near the Central Station and then took the ferry to get to North Holland. We went through some really picturesque villages and the ride was very enjoyable. If you want to get out of the Amsterdam city for a short trip, I would highly recommend you to visit the Waterland by bike.

A little tip: if you are planning a similar cycling day trip, make sure you reach Broek in Waterland in time for lunch/ afternoon tea at Pannenkoekenhuis De Witte Swaen'(The White Swan Pancake House). There is a big menu with over 60 varitions of savory and sweet pancakes.
