If you want to soak up some fresh air and find a quiet place to escape the big city noise for a few minutes, Vondelpark, Amsterdam’s most beloved park, is located just a few steps away from Leidseplein, a popular nightlife area. In the 1960s, hippies slept undisturbed on the park’s grassy expanses. Amsterdam has always enjoyed a more laid-back lifestyle. Today, Vondelpark attests to the ease and the multicultural character of the Dutch capital.
