The five-story museum building, lined with copper sheets, is the main attraction of the Oosterdok quarter. This area was created in the first half of the nineteenth century and protected the city from the tides of "inland sea." Later, it allowed the construction of the central railway station of Amsterdam. The museum, bearing the name of Nemo, was intended to cause association with the legendary hero of the novels Jules Verne - captain Nemo - inventor and innovator, a fighter for justice and discoverer. But the famous cartoon about the fish "Nemo" began to associate this museum with a scientific center for children, which is certainly not far from reality. The motto of this museum is interactivity. Here, every exhibit, every story, and the invention is interactive. Everything can be touched, and everything can be experimented with. But, as it turned out, such openness of the museum made it not only attractive for children but also adults, because we are all little children. To visit the museum, you need to set aside from one and a half to two hours, and be sure to visit the exposition Energy and Innovation.

This route is ideal for a male company or for fathers and sons. The day will begin with the famous Maritime Museum and one of Amsterdam's most famous golden age ships. This sailboat belonged to the legendary East Indian company, and headed for the islands of the Indonesian archipelago in the late autumn of 1748, and what you will learn later on an exact copy of the ship moored in the eastern harbor. Next you will find a cheerful and serious, bright and real, fully gaming and very academic museum of science Nemo. Here you can find out a bunch of unexpected facts about a person and the world and confirm your guesses by experience, and let a light drink drunk on the observation deck relax, enjoying the views of the city. Further - the most unexpected acquaintance with Amsterdam - from a surfboard sliding on the quiet water of the canals! This new and growing type of tourism is called sapsurfing and combines a bit of sport, a little courage and an indescribable feeling. We propose to end the day in a small brewery and bar near the old Dutch mill. Here you can taste eight sorts of local beer and get to know the excellent triple ale. Have a great day!
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
