Travel Tips for Amstelveen
Not as much English is spoken here
Most people are still going to speak English, but not as often or as well as in Amsterdam. I did run into a few folks who didn't speak any English at all, but looking at it on the bright side, its a different experience. You're seeing how the Dutch are on a daily basis, and its very different than Amsterdam.
Thijssepark, a park in Amstelveen
Officially this park is called "Dr. Jac. P. Thijssepark", designed by C.P. Broerse.
The park can be reached with bus 166 (stop "Oude/Nieuwe Karselaan from direction Amstelveen and stop "Prins Bernhardlaan" from direction Amsterdam). By car/bike you can find the entrance at the Prins Bernhardlaan.
The parks De Braak, the Dr. J. Landwehrpark and the Broersepark are on walking distance. On the website of the Thijssepark a 1.5-2 h walk though the Thijssepark, De Braak and the Landwehrpark is described in Dutch. However, you can also find a map there that might be useful.
Close to the park "De Braak" one of the four intact banning poles ("banpalen" in Dutch) of Amsterdam can be found. See my tip on that if you are interested.
Broersepark, a park in Amstelveen
The Broersepark is situated between the museum-railroad from Amsterdam to Bovenkerk, the Parklaan (entrance), the Amsterdamseweg (main entrance) and the Molenweg (entrance).
The park houses several free and caged birds.
There is also a playground with a little swimmingpool for children in the Broersepark. The pool is filled with water between 08.00 and 12.30, when the weather forecast is sunny and 21 degrees Celcius or higher. The swimmingpool is emptied again between 18.00 and 20.00.
A 1 km walk through the park is described here (in Dutch, but with a map. Search for "Broersepark"): http://www.natuurwegwijzer.nl/
