About Vondelpark

After so many paintings viewed on your feet, a bench in Vondelpark gains artistic value of its own. Paths, water and lawns spread the stroll across a park used by locals and visitors alike. There are cafés and an open-air theater, with a changing program.

Walk in without feeling you have to cross it all: follow a pond and stop somewhere comfortable. In rain or strong wind, shorten the walk and look for a covered break. Here, after the museums, the itinerary can do without another to-do list.
