Parks & Nature
Vondelpark
Most beautiful park in Amsterdam
The forest next to the city, you wont believe you're near Amsterdam. In this forest many things are hidden, from festivals in summer, to hidden pools for children, tree climbing expeditions, a goat farm. If you want to get out of the heat of the city, this is a nice place for a picknick, strall in the forest or any of the above.

This place is great when the sun is at its peak. Just outside of the tourist area and a bit hidden from the rest of the city yet just a few minutes away from the central station. It has a garden at the waterside to sit down at especially when the weather is nice. Just sit down drink your drink and watch the boats come by.
