Amsterdam - city center side
Sightseeing
One of Amsterdam's top historical attractions. Prepare to wait in really long lines. I think you can skip the Anne Frank House, but if you really want to go, go very early.

This is the best playground around. It's in the Westerpark (where else??), there is an espresso bar close by (you pass it on your way), you can get your caffeine fix and then let your child loose in the closed off playground with swings, sand pit, trampoline, hills to climb on and tunnels to walk through. An assured succes!

You might have noticed that there are a lot of Indonesian restaurants in Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands. Not so surprising when you realise that Indonesia has been a Dutch colony for many years. Kantjil & De Tijger offers amazing Indonesian food. Try a 'rijsttafel', which is a collection of tapas-sized dishes that consisted of a variety of Indonesian cuisines, from sate to nasi padang to kropoek and beyond.
