Staying in Amsterdam Oost
Oost covers much more ground than the streets beside Oosterpark, so an area label alone will not tell you your journey time. Use the park, Dapperstraat and your nearest station as reference points. Accommodation east of the park has different walking routes from addresses toward the Amstel, especially when carrying luggage or returning after dinner.
