Amsterdam Hotel Guide. NH Hotels Hotels in Plantage - Eastern Docklands, Amsterdam, Netherlands

This area is known as Plantage (Plantation) and while its lush parkland has mostly gone, botanical gardens and the small Artis Zoo provide refuge from the hustle of the city. To the north, the excellent maritime Nederlands Scheepvaartmuseum is a reminder of Dutch naval power; to the south the ethnographical Tropenmuseum holds exotic treasures from the Dutch East Indies. Waterlooplein is the site of a colourful daily flea market.
