Vondelpark

Amsterdam’s version of Central Park, a 120-acre leafy retreat west of the Museumsplein, is fabulous for biking, walking and enjoying the summer months. Don’t miss lunch or coffee at the ‘T Blauwe Teehuis or at Vertigo, the café at the film museum, which is not a museum but a film library and theater showing old movies. (During the summer, there are screenings in the park.) Modern-art fans should search the grounds for the Picasso sculpture The Fish.
