The houseboat lies on the edge of downtown Amsterdam. It is easily accessible by car or by public transit. Buses and trams run every ten minutes and the nearest stop is just a three minute walk. Houseboat 'Fortunato' lies along the Zeeburgerpad, right near to the Funen windmill where microbrewery ‘het IJ’ is located in a pleasant, quiet neighbourhood. The brewery has a tasting room, open for beer sampling from Wednesday to Sunday.
The owner also rents bicycles and a cycle into town takes five minutes. It is also possible to go on foot, past Artis Magistralis – Amsterdam’s zoo – and along the former VOC warehouses to Waterlooplein, the best-known open air market in the Netherlands. The walk takes about ten to fifteen minutes, or longer if you take the time to enjoy one of the many café terraces you pass along the way.
Other Activities: Close to the famous multicultural 'Dappermarkt'
