Amsterdam for skaters:
 It
is not surprising that Amsterdam is popular with in-line skaters.
There is much to see and do for both beginners and the experienced
skater. Lots of events and tours are organized in and around
Amsterdam, especially in summer. These include tours for both
groups and individual skaters. Amsterdam is a great city to
explore on wheels.
You can enjoy lovely, varied surroundings with sufficient
ports of call where you can have a drink and a meal. You may
also map out your own route through the locations below and
make them as long or as short as you wish.
WOOD AND PARK
If you like to skate through nature, the paved paths in Vondel
Park, Spaarnwoude and the Amsterdam Wood are a treat. In summertime
many other lovers of this sport will join you. In autumn and
in winter these locations are less busy, but still offer great
scenic beauty.
ISLAND, LAKE
AND SKATING RINK
If you love in-line skating and water, you are not limited
to the skating along the canals in Amsterdam. Try the Gaasterplas,
here you can skate around the lake. Or skate around the KNSM/Java
Island. In addition to enjoying great views of the river IJ.
Are you in for a competition? An 800-meter-long inline skating
track has been set up around the Jaap Eden Skating Rink. You
can easily switch here between blades and wheels. In-line
skates and ice skates are available in the rental shop.

Of course, there are many more great skating locations and
