Hiking
North of the Jordaan and Haarlemmerbuurt neighborhoods are Amsterdam’s three (man-made) Western Islands: Bickerseiland, Prinseneiland and Realeneiland, a small and quiet world with a distinct flavor all of its own — seemingly stuck in time — close to the city center. On a surface area of 22 hectare (54 acres), the islands were historically dedicated to shipyards and warehouses, combining industry and housing. These days they are often used as the backdrop for movies because of their many nostalgic panoramas.
