You will find licorices the Dutch like so much, sticky treats, caramels, salmiak candy, but also some very odd traditional sweets you don't come across easily nowadays.

Parks & Nature

In this park - mostly visited by locals - you will not only find every 1st Sunday of the month a really nice Sunday market (from 12 - 6pm), but also the Westergasfabrik with lots of nice bars, restaurants, cinema and a boat rental. And deep down in the park there is a true little hidden gem: an old farmhouse called "buurtboederij Ons Genoegen", Spaarndammerdijk 319. Surrounded by meadows you can relax in the garden under big chestnut trees, sipping your Heineken beer and enjoy a home backed apple tart (a real Dutch treat!) for little money. In summer they show open-air movies and bands are playing regularly. Check out their agenda under www.buurtboederij.nl.
