Amsterdam’s biggest and most beloved park! A flourishing hub of natural beauty with activities galore. No wonder it gets 10 million visitors a year.

  • The park was named after the Dutch poet Joost van den Vondel, whose statue is placed within the park grounds. It is known for its English-style landscape with woods and lakes throughout to showcase it as an ideal natural landscape. Dutch residents and tourists alike come here to appreciate the outdoors by jogging, cycling, dog-walking, roller-blading, or just lounging in the grass.
  • During the summer months, one of Vondelpark’s most sought out locations is its open air music stage “Vondelpark Openlucht” where you can delight in a range of performances for dance, theater, comedy and music! Make sure to check out the lineup to see who is performing during your visit.
  • Considering the park is located in the heart of Amsterdam, it is easy to combine with multiple activities. Nearby is Holland’s most popular museum highlighting Dutch history and art: the Rijksmusem.

    My visit to Vondelpark was on a warm and sunny day, where people were laid out in the grass playing cards with friends, going on a midday jog, and playing frisbee with their dogs. This is definitely Amsterdam’s quintessential park for tourists and locals to hangout.
