Located close to the museum district, Vondelpark, with its 110 acres, offers an ideal recreational area for all those who need a break from art and culture.
Here, in what was once the heart of the European hippie movement, you can lie down on the grass, unwrap your picnic food, jog, cycle or even ride a horse. Music festivals, concerts and theater performances are organized here in the summer months, and the many entertainers and artists in the small cafés make time go by in a flash. If you are looking for a bit of peace and quiet, you can stroll along idyllic pathways past pools, pavilions and rose beds while listening to the birds singing in the woods.
