Parks & Beaches

Amsterdammers immensely enjoy spending time in city parks, which mostly date from the 18th century. Trees, ponds and flowers surround vistors and the sounds of the city seem distant. Experience the green side of Amsterdam in any of its over 30 parks, which attract around nine million people each year. When the sun is shining and all the terraces are already packed, just grab a bottle of cool rosé wine and some music and head to the park to relax and ‘take a load off’. There areplenty of lovely green spaces and beaches in Amsterdam. The green lungs of the city. Ideal for sports, picnicking, bbq, sunbathing, concerts and festivals.
