Families Visiting Amsterdam

Planning a family holiday in Amsterdam is exciting, but choosing the right accommodation can make all the difference. Families need more than just a place to sleep. They need space to relax, the freedom to follow their own schedule, and practical facilities that make travelling with children easier.

At Cityden Aparthotels, you can enjoy the comfort of a fully equipped apartment together with the convenience of hotel services. Our spacious serviced apartments, welcoming Daymakers and three unique locations make Cityden the perfect base for exploring Amsterdam with the people who matter most.

Whether you choose Cityden Stadshart, Cityden Zuidas or Cityden BoLo District, you’ll experience Amsterdam at your own pace while enjoying all the comforts of home.

Spacious Apartments Made for Families

Family holidays should feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. Instead of sharing one small hotel room, you can settle into a spacious apartment designed to give everyone room to relax.

Every family benefits from extra space, especially after a busy day of sightseeing. At Cityden, larger apartments are ideal for families and groups who want to enjoy quality time together without feeling crowded.

During your stay, you can enjoy:

• Separate living and sleeping areas
• Comfortable dining spaces
• Plenty of room for children to play
• A relaxing atmosphere after a busy day
• Privacy that helps everyone feel at home
  
  

As a result, your holiday becomes more enjoyable for both parents and children.

Enjoy the Freedom of Your Own Kitchen

Travelling with children often means different meal times, favourite snacks and special dietary needs. Fortunately, every Cityden apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen.

This gives you the flexibility to:

• Prepare breakfast whenever you like
• Keep drinks and snacks close by
• Cook meals for younger children
• Store baby food and milk
• Save money by eating in whenever you choose
  
  

Because you have your own kitchen, there is no need to plan your day around restaurant opening hours. Instead, you can enjoy family meals whenever it suits your schedule.

Hotel Services with a Home Away from Home

Cityden combines the best parts of apartment living with the comfort of a modern aparthotel.

In addition to stylish interiors and comfortable beds, you’ll also benefit from housekeeping services and support from our friendly Daymakers.

Our Daymakers are always happy to recommend family-friendly attractions, local restaurants and hidden gems around Amsterdam. Thanks to their local knowledge, you can discover places that many visitors never find.

Whether you need advice on playgrounds, museums or the best place for lunch with children, they’re always ready to help.

Three Great Locations for Your Family Stay

Every family travels differently. Some prefer quiet surroundings, while others like to stay close to the city’s attractions. That’s why Cityden offers three unique locations, each with its own character.

Cityden Stadshart

Cityden Stadshart is located in the heart of Amstelveen, close to Stadshart Shopping Centre and the Cobra Museum.

This location is perfect for families looking for a peaceful environment with shops, restaurants and cafés nearby. At the same time, Amsterdam’s city centre is easy to reach by public transport, making sightseeing simple and stress-free.

Cityden Zuidas

Cityden Zuidas offers excellent transport connections and easy access to Amsterdam’s financial district. However, it’s also an excellent choice for leisure travellers.

Families can quickly reach Amsterdamse Bos, one of the largest parks in the area, where children can cycle, play, walk and visit the popular goat farm. In addition, the rooftop terrace offers beautiful views over Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport and the surrounding green spaces.

Cityden BoLo District

Located in Amsterdam West, Cityden BoLo District introduces families to one of the city’s most creative neighbourhoods.

Here you’ll discover independent cafés, local shops and a lively atmosphere that offers a more authentic side of Amsterdam. Meanwhile, public transport makes it easy to visit the city’s famous attractions whenever you like.

The Best Family Activities in Amsterdam

Amsterdam offers something for every age, making it an excellent destination for family holidays.

Visit ARTIS Royal Zoo

ARTIS is one of Europe’s oldest zoos and remains one of Amsterdam’s most popular attractions.

Families can spend hours discovering elephants, giraffes, lions, penguins, the aquarium, and the planetarium. Because there is so much to see, it easily fills an entire day.

Explore NEMO Science Museum

If your children enjoy hands-on activities, NEMO Science Museum is a must-visit.

Here, young visitors can experiment, build, learn, and play while discovering how science works. As a bonus, the rooftop offers fantastic views across the city.

Take a Canal Cruise

No family trip to Amsterdam is complete without a canal cruise.

Not only is it relaxing, but it also allows children and adults to admire Amsterdam’s famous canals, bridges, and historic houses from a completely different perspective.

Spend Time in Vondelpark

Vondelpark is the perfect place to slow down after visiting museums or shopping streets.

Families can enjoy:

• Playgrounds
• Walking paths
• Cycling routes
• Picnic areas
• Outdoor cafés
• Open green spaces
  
  

During spring and summer, it’s one of the city’s favourite places for local families.

Visit the National Maritime Museum

Children love exploring the full-size replica of a seventeenth-century Dutch sailing ship.

Meanwhile, interactive exhibitions help younger visitors learn about Dutch maritime history in a fun and engaging way.

Discover Amsterdamse Bos

Amsterdamse Bos is a fantastic destination for families staying at either Cityden Stadshart or Cityden Zuidas.

You can enjoy cycling, walking, canoeing, playgrounds and even a visit to the popular goat farm. Consequently, it’s a wonderful place to escape the busy city centre for a few hours.

Explore Stadshart Amstelveen

Guests staying at Cityden Stadshart are only minutes away from Stadshart Amstelveen.

This modern shopping and entertainment district offers plenty of family-friendly restaurants, cafés, shops and seasonal events. Therefore, it’s a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon together.

Why Families Prefer Serviced Apartments

More and more families are choosing serviced apartments instead of traditional hotels.

That’s because they offer:

• More space
• Greater privacy
• A fully equipped kitchen
• Comfortable living areas
• Better value for longer stays
• More flexibility throughout the day
  
  

Instead of adjusting your plans to hotel schedules, you can enjoy Amsterdam in a way that works best for your family. This reflects Cityden’s promise to let every guest live at their own pace.
