- Artyom FedosovJuly 29, 2016Big popular park with a lot of activities from just relaxing till rocking on the large open air concert. Peaceful and nice place, especially on a sunny day.
Thomas MeijerAugust 31, 2014If walking along the canals didn't make you fall in love yet with Amsterdam, this place surely will. It's an amazing park to wander around or to enjoy the sun at!
Kevin GrahlJune 6, 2020This is where I go when I need a break from the fast pace that rules the city. Bring cheese & fruits and a blanket and enjoy nature just a stone鈥檚 throw away from all the action the city has to offer.
An extremely large park in the center of the city, and it breathes life. Filled with laughter and barbecues all summer long, it's great for a gentle stroll (or cycle)
Abdulrahman Almunayes 馃嚢馃嚰March 3, 2020Very nice park at Amsterdam, you can reach it by walking 25-30 from Dam Square. Worth it. It has coffee shops, restaurants & so many chairs. Good lakes & walking tracks. 丨丿賷賯丞 賲賲鬲丕夭丞 賮賷 兀賲爻鬲乇丿丕賲
Good place to take a run around, walk around and with a few cafe's around the park you can Easily plan half a day here. Since its close to my house it is now often my go to park for a nice walk
Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013Like the Central Park of Amsterdam. It's worth it to rent a bike just to explore this paradise of lakes, green spaces and forested paths. In summer, it feels like whole city is out with portable BBQs.
Tesi KaltenhauserJune 24, 2019Beautiful park near centraal amsterdam. Came here to relax and enjoy the great weather. With good weather there are many people but still enough space for evereryone. Beautiful flowers everywhere.. 馃尭
Tom SnoijinkNovember 29, 2016The most popular park in town. Good for hangouts, having barbcues and have a taste of the leisure of the average Amsterdamer. Keep an eye out on the Vondelbunker for cool underground parties 馃槈
JenJanuary 22, 2017Such a beautiful park, take an afternoon out and get lost walking around before taking time out at the space like Art Deco cafe - sheer bliss, a must visit
Nancy KyriakiOctober 19, 2016The best place for a walk,picnic and chill with good company or by yourself with a cup of coffee.Just be careful to not get lost!
Beautiful park with ample space and lots of little ponds and lakes with ducks and birds. Lovely way to spend a few hours walking and appreciating nature. Some food trucks and other food options too
Tania Ulloa-MalaveJune 15, 2017Aside from the hidden gem that it is to relax and enjoy nature, the park servers as a meeting point, playgrounds galore and wonderful encounter with Dutch culture. Make sure you come with a picnic!
AbdulrahmanOctober 10, 2016The largest and the best park in Amsterdam. Hire a bike and enjoy a tour around the park .
Yasmina AladdinSeptember 6, 2016Perfect location for a picnic! Theres a supermarket nearby get ur sandwiches and salad and eat out on the grass!
Alyssa G.February 10, 2017Take a nice stroll through the park or stop at one of the restaurants for a bite to eat. In the summer, bring out your picnic blanket and albert heijn barbeque is a great way to spend the day.
Probably the most magnificent park in the city. You shall go there if you'are in town. Have a coffee and a pastry at Caf茅 Vondeltuin :)
Juste FMay 29, 2016A great park right in the center of the city. Great way to have a get away quickly
SarahJune 30, 2019have gone there almost everyday this week and loved every single time! amazing park but i find westerpark to be as equally as amazing, visit both.
Look out for the wild green (ring-necked) parakeets in the trees. They have a high-pitched squawk. There are a couple rare ones that are yellow.
B KApril 20, 2015Houses around it are beautiful. Park is huge, cycling is the best way to see it. You can see 3 years old Dutch children are riding bicycle.
Come prepared, with your picnic blanket, your cold bottle of white wine and some food. Every part has it's own population so walk around a bit to see where you feel the most comfortable.
Great and beautiful park! Can get crowded on days with nice weather but it's always fun. There's also a theatre/stage and there's free concerts during the summer months
Walter KersAugust 25, 2017The place to visit when you are in Amsterdam. You can walk, bike and relax. Also near "PC Hooft straat", have a look at the rich and famous.
sanne van looOctober 19, 2015Great place to spend your free days in a green scenery in a big city like Amsterdam. Lots of things to do and a great place for adventures in the night.
Thetis TOctober 30, 2016The most visited and well-known park in A'dam!! Great for picnics or walks especially when its sunny!
Good place for a sunny lunch with friends or family. Buy bread, houmous, salad and you're ready ! Big green spaces to seat.
Murat IrevulJune 13, 2015I'm sure its more beautiful than Hyde or Central Park. Great to spend time, having a coffee or tea, deep breath, and feel the peace. Mind the bicyclers when you are walking;)!
Beautiful place to picnic, ride on your bike, or just chill and smoke.
Paull YoungJuly 8, 2018Great spot for a run and a cycle. Afterwards refresh yourself with some ros茅 at the Vondelpark 3 cafe
Have a picnic, ride your bike, take a walk. Anything you do here will be awesome.

Eilert RyghSeptember 18, 2018Great park for biking in the morning and go relaxing in the sunset. Some say its good for bbq but i have not tried that yet though. 10/10 easy
The best park for a picnic. Make sure you don't fire up the barbecue outside of the designated areas!- Nikolas TapiaApril 27, 2016This is a really nice park in the south-end of the City. If you have some free time, take a stroll and admire the lakes and green areas.
Amsterdam's Central Park equivalent except much smaller. Hopping on sunny days, perhaps too busy sometimes. Great park to train for races at, approx. 3,25km once around.
