Like all inner city parks, the attraction is getting off the street for awhile. Nothing special here, still a nice place for a 'sit on the grass' break. Yes there are lots of people on a nice sunny day and people bring their dogs. Yes there are a lot of bicycles and areas where bike/walking paths were mixed. No it's... More

Big park for city dwellers to have a walk or a picnic. Saw a lot of people jogging and relaxing on the lawns. We enjoyed the outdoors and the beautiful kept flowerbeds with tulips and other flowers.

This place in Amsterdam is simply amazing, in particular on Sundays/holidays when Amsterdamers flock in to enjoy their week-end in the park.

The Vondelpark is the hot spot for all joggers and bikers in Amsterdam which is understandable. It is really a big green spot in the centre that offers a 3.3 km circular path that is well prepared for bikes and runners/pedestrians. Lots of water arrangements and nature elements.

Great way to spend a Sunday morning in the Dam.Beware of the bootcampers/runners/cyclists though. If all this exercise is too much,try the tea room.I recommend a healthy mint tea!

I loved this park and it provided hours of relaxation on a bright warm afternoon. The park is in my opinion somewhat similar in its setting and feel to Holland Park in West London although much bigger. There are interesting sculptures dotted around the park and also some lovely features including the fountains in one of the several ponds and... More

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
