This park is beautiful, with a circular layout. It is a great place to "practice" riding like the Dutch before you venture too far out into the day to day traffic, which can be challenging for the faint of heart. The park is clean, has some good little spots to rest or have a picnic, but mostly it is just... more

Scary! We had to enter behind the brigde and pass underneath to go to the center of the park... Well, don't go there after dark!! I was not comfortable at all. Half of the park is closed this summer... renovating. No nice views around. The renovation is welcome, becouse the "picturesque and lovely" round tea-house is in a very poor... more

Very relaxing. On a sunny day, take a picnic and some wine/beer and just escape from the town. Highly recommended! more

This park is just gorgeous and choc-a-bloc with cyclers, walkers, joggers, dogs, all the good park things. And the neighborhood bordering the park is simply gorgeous. The homes are stately and magnificent. After we had ridden our bikes through the wonderful park, we detoured out into the swish neighborhood, which also houses the big embassies, and toured that as well.... more

What a wonderful park! The first time we went there, on a Sunday afternoon, there were lots of people on picnic, an open air concert... I remember my son riding the bike we had rented along the enchanting paths! I enjoyed it very much, one of my favourite places in A'Dam. more

For some people this park will seem like a mini Utopia, for others some aspects will feel uncomfortable; I'm in the former group. Regardless, Vondel reminds me of Holland as a whole: tolerant, carefree, peaceful, did I mention tolerant? You can stroll through this park on the way to several museums as it is located in the very posh Museum... more

I have visited "The Dam" quite a few times and can honestly say that Vondelpark is the niceset place to go while you're there. Forget all the hussle and bussle of Dam square, Central station and Red light if you are there with a loved one or even with mates just lie on the grass and chill out. You could... more

If it is a nice warm day ... skip the museums and head to the Vondel Park. Even on a week day there will be 100's and 100's of people enjoying life. Even at night there could be 100's of people sitting around candle lite blankets. There are some great place to eat ... or take a picnic. We even... more
