    Vertigo in Vondelpark
    by Helga67
    Vondelpark is the biggest, greenest and most famous park of Amsterdam. It's a nice place to spend during hot days or when you have some spare time.
    There are a lot of meadows, trees and ponds. You will see people walking, running and rollerskating along the paths, and relaxing on the meadows. I saw two places where you can have a drink. Vertigo is a cafe near the Filmmuseum and more in the middle of the park is a nice blue coffeehouse.

    Vondelpark is seen through my eyes with poetry. Is a retreat in the city, a place to dream with equality among people. You can see some local people playing petanque while smoking a joint and drinking a pack of Heineken, or you can see a couple sitting on a bench and having a picnic, or a beggar sleeping in the grass, or a dog swimming in the small lake for his owner stick, or a musician playing flute, or catch a free concert of local music..

    To catch a free concert visit Vondelpark site at

    I stopped at the Vondelpark on my first day in Amsterdam, while waiting for my room to be ready. It was a great place to sit and people and dog watch. There are so many dogs in Amsterdam and on a Sunday afternoon, it seems as if this is the place for them to be.

    Vondel Park is the Central Park of Amsterdam. It has beautiful winding pathways, and on some sunny evenings it seems that the whole world is relaxing with you here.

    At the Film Museum, in the center of Vondel park, is a fantastic café/restaurant/bar called Vertigo. A wonderful place to have a glass of wine or beer and watch the world go by in restful bliss.

    Vondelpark provides Amsterdam's citizens with plenty of green space, and thanks to the efforts of PieterJan, it has also become a prime spot for VT'ers meeting up!

    As you can see in my pictures, it is really a very popular and populated spot and unfortunately a lot of people are not well-mannered enough to properly take care of their left-overs. The Dutch seem to be very much laissez-faire, but I would actually prefer a more zero-tolerance approach towards people messing up public spaces .

    by BlueBerry_7
    The Vondelpark is Amsterdam's most famous park. It stretches all the way from the Leidseplein to the Amstelveenseweg, literally cutting the southern part of the city in two.The park is very popular with tourists who can enjoy the quiet from within the city, for people with little children because of the many playgrounds and splendid animals, and the joggers, cyclists and skaters.

    Vondelpark was named after the great Dutch writer and poet Johannes van den Vondel. Close to the Vondelpark we find the Vondelstraat and the Vondelkerk. On the Overtoom side one can find the Film museum.

    In the high season the Music Theater gives many performances of local and international artists and it's completely free to watch! This is only one of the things which gives the park it's special atmosphere. The well known Concertgebouworkest which happens every year is an open-air concert in the park and it attracts hundreds of people.

    Looking at a map of Amsterdam Vondelpark is spread out like a green picnic blanket over the south west of the city.

    Opened to the public in 1865 the park is named after Joost van den Vondel, one of Netherlands foremost poet and playwrights. It covers approximately 110 acres and includes pathways, ornamental ponds, a rose garden and, of course, plenty of grassy space to spread out your own picnic blanket and join the community of cyclists, joggers, sun-bathers, dog-walkers, and roller bladders who use the park.

    In summer an open-air theatre stages free concert and theatre performances and the Nederlands filmmuseum is also located in the park. The filmmuseum screens a large number of classic, arthouse, modern Dutch and world movies throughout the year and also has some open air screenings in summer. Café Vertigo, at the filmmuseum, has a lovely terrace where you can people-watch over your coffee while the strikingly designed t’ Blauwe Teehuis is a great place to stop and refresh yourself with a sandwich and cake.

    The Filmmuseum presents new films, both Dutch and foreign art films. The collection includes thousands of films, and many photos, posters, papers and other witnesses of film history. The film collection has a wide range, from 1898 onwards. The Filmmuseum presents at least three daily screenings: theme programmes, classics, archive films, Grolsch Master Movie (favourites), Mondo Bizarro (cult films), and screenings for children.

    Vondel Park - It's a beautiful, quiet and serene place, where people come here to relax, meditate, sing, play an instrument, or just simply for a stroll.... There is also a cafe called Vertigo, which I heard is quite good, and a film museum can be found there.
