For those who love art and history, there is Museumplein. Most of the most popular museums can be found near Museumplein, such as Van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum and Mokum Museum. Museumplein is also ideal for a picnic, since there is a big grass field. A lot of locals come here to picnic in the summer and you could end up meeting some random people and have some fun. In the winter period, the water on Museumplein will be turned into ice and you can go ice skating in that period.
