Vondelpark
 

Description

This large, green oasis was created in the second half of the 19th Century and named after the poet Joost van den Vondel (1587-1679), a statue of whom was unveiled here in 1867. Today, Vondelpark is one of the most-visited spots in the city and is a restful haven for citizens away from the city's chaos. Come here for inline skating, let your children play in the large playground or have a cup of coffee on one of the four terraces.

Just Plain And Ordinary
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 4/18/05
I visited the park during my stay , it was nice , but nothing special. Possible if I lived there I enjoy more, but being a tourist and having so many other things to see I would not encourage anyone to feel bad if they don't have the time to visit the park.

It's a really large park, that's it.
By cdb, 10/22/10
It was nice on a rare sunny day to walk through the park but that was about it. After all, a park really is just a park. Don't get me wrong I like parks but I didn't spend much time there and wouldn't recommend spending a lot of time there. It seemed relatively safe to walk through.

Nice place for a walk
By Emilio Crosby, 10/29/07
Well maintained park, with a nice pond. Excellent for walking and relaxing. Very close to downtown, right across from Hard Rock Cafe. Public transportation right outside. Nice for a bike tour, as well.

Beautiful park, but...
By Kate, 9/5/07
The park is really huge, so it is a great place to go for a walk, but when we were there there were a few people who were stoned, including one young man who was going around intimidating tourists. Far more fun to go on the Hop On Hop Off Canal Cruises.

Will return.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 1/6/05
This park was a great place to sit and people watch. If you like that kind of thing. If not, there are other things you can do here. Check it out in the day time first.
