Roller-bladers, cyclists, walkers and picnickers throng the verdant Vondelpark. You'll find many of the best hotels near Vondelpark in the surrounding Vondelbuurt neighbourhood and the adjoining Museumkvartier. Central Amsterdam's biggest green space is named for poet and playwright Joost van en Vondel (1587-1679) – look out for his statue in the midle of this 120-acre expanse of woods, lawns and water, laid out in the late 19th century. A resident flock of green parakeets lends a tropical touch.

The Vondelpark is at its best in summer, when you can enjoy live music (rock, jazz and classical) at the open air theatre - but at any time of year it's a super place to escape for a while from the sometimes intense bustle of the city centre and from the always-crowded great museums nearby. For the best of both worlds, you can also find some of the best hotels near Vondelpark in the southern stretch of the Canal Belt, across the Singelgracht.
