Lovely place for a relaxing walk -- easy paths within a large park -- seemed to be well used and seemed safe -- good for a family visit

This is a pretty park that we walked through a number of times to get from our B&B to various restaurants. It is quite pretty, but is not anything out of the ordinary. The English Garden in Munich and Central Park in NY can be noted as sites to be seen, but not really Vondelpark in my view. If the... More

Unfortunately the weather was not very appealing when we visited, so that there was no outdoor activity, just joggers and passers by. We went to the "Blue Tea House" in the Center of the Park. It is run by young, friendly people. We got ourselves two cups of absolute coffee-free coffee, they were just hot water. Our young friends ,... More

We visited the park in May, when almost every tree there was in blossom. it is a very peaceful place, nice for walking and rest from the city noises.

Pleasant park to strool or cycle in or just sit and watch the world go by. Herons abound here and don't seem to mind the people. plenty of seats to sit and pass the time.

The Amsterdam "Vondelpark" might be a great escape from the cities hussle and bussle while you have the chance. Great green environment with plenty of places to sit in the grass, hide under a tree and enjoy a freshly squeezed soft ice cream at one of the stalls. Look at the people and enjoy the show that is called "life"... More

We passed by Vondelpark every day in our bikes to go to the city center, lots a people, lovely green areas, we could hear the birds. On sunday we were exausted, so we stopped and lay down on the grass. It was great, despite the cold weather, the sun was shining so we stayed for more than 2 hours.
