Staying in Wilhelminapark and Oudwijk
The park is a useful reference point, but accommodation on its western and eastern sides gives quite different walks into town. Oudwijk connects toward the center through streets around the church and Burgemeester Reigerstraat. The Rietveld Schröder House lies further east, so build its fixed entry time into your route. Check the full address before assuming that a listing described as near the park is also near the house.
