🏖 When you think of a beach, art and culture might not immediately spring to mind. However, Amsterdam Beach is filled with hidden gems that show you the history and culture of the area. 🏰 Take the Brederode Ruins, for example. A scenic, 35-minute car or train ride from Amsterdam will bring you to the impressive Ruïne van Brederode in Santpoort-Zuid, a ruined medieval castle complete with a moat, dungeon and far-reaching views from its highest turret. It's definitely a sight to add to your "must-see" list!
