Sightseeing
Invisible from the outside, is a park within a circle of old houses for nuns. In the middle is a church which remains unseen before you step through a small door from the street. You will not be alone though

Not only drunken tourists and red lights, Mata Hari near Central Station is a fine restaurant and bar, plus the old church is impressive. A walk from the Dam to Nieuwmarkt and Waterlooplein is a definitive recommendation.
