Meet the Artist Delighting Amsterdam

In the spring of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, the always bustling Dam Square in Amsterdam was deserted, silent and surrounded by concrete counterterrorism blocks. The Dutch street artist Frank de Ruwe, who goes by the name of Frankey, decided these daunting studded blocks resembled something more innocent — giant Lego blocks — and that the city needed something to lighten the gloom. The result? Later that summer, Frankey created and placed a giant yellow-and-black Lego figure of the Dutch folk singer André Hazes, whose songs have been pub favorites in the Netherlands for more than 40 years.

And understandably so — you’re meandering along the canals one minute, mingling with a van Gogh the next. Looking for a little latitude in Amsterdam is far from impossible — it just takes a bit of strategy. Be your own captainThe best way to enjoy Amsterdam is, quite undeniably, from the water. All over the city, there are stations where you can rent small electric boats that suit the size of your group. Motor a little outside the city, to, say, Ouderkerk aan de Amstel — a small town on the Amstel River, about six miles south of Amsterdam — where it’s wonderfully serene.
