Recreation and Sport in the Metro
Activities and fun are hardly a monopoly of the City. The Amsterdam metropolitan region holds ample opportunity for fun and exploring. There are castles and fortresses to visit in old Haarlem; plenty of country cycling in Waterland to see old windmills; sand dunes and beaches along the coast; rivers and world famous fields of flowers in the Amstel region; and tiny old-time harbor towns like Edam to explore.
