Parks in Amsterdam

Vondelpark

This beautiful park is located in the older part of the city. Especially in the summer it’s lively and crowded. A lovely place to hang out and if you chose to try magic mushrooms, do them here.

Museumplein

This is a large grassed open space. Around its edges are the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Concertgebouw, and the temporarily closed Stedelijk Museum.

Westerpark
Newly expanded park, at the western edge of the centre, with cultural activities in a former gas factory. Access from Haarlemmerweg.

Amsterdamse Bos
Amsterdamse Bos is a much larger forest-type park on the outskirts of the city. Access from Amstelveenseweg. Horse rental, canoe rental and an open air theatre are part of the attractions.
