Vondelpark

Vondelpark is the largest city park in Amsterdam, and definitely the most renowned park in the Netherlands. The park, built on a muddy landfill site, requires a major refurbishment every 30 years. This is due to the park's real ground level gradually lowering itself. If these projects are not completed, the entire park will be submerged in water.

Vondelpark exists currently for about 150 years and includes numerous ancient trees. The park's scenery is completed with a variety of plants and herbs. Many large and tiny birds may also be seen at Vondelpark. The park is 120 acres in size and has an abundance of exciting activities. The park features a stunning rose garden with over 70 distinct species of the flower, in addition to stretches of green area sprinkled with quiet ponds and crossed by sufficient trails.

Sunny days are ideal for dog walking, running, roller-skating, listening to music, people-watching, or simply lazing on the grass. Free concerts are held at the open-air theatre or, in the summer, at the park's bandstand. Other attractions include the statue of the poet Vondel, the cast iron music dome, the Groot Melkhuis with a playground for children, and the historical Pavilion with its restaurant Vertigo, which opens a popular terrace in the summer. Vondelpark is a fantastic and expansive park. And you may visit it in a classic Dutch way: by bike! A guided cycling tour will teach you about its history and show you every nook of it.
