Attractions and sights

Brasapark

Amsterdam South-East has gained a new park: the Brasapark, built on top of the roof of a busy motorway tunnel (the A9). Instead of rushing traffic, there is now a 3 kilometer long green zone, which is connected to the Nelson Mandela and Gaasperpark. Local residents have had a lot of say in the design of the park, which is a first!

Oosterpark

The Oosterpark is a large city park located in Amsterdam Oost. This open green space is filled with ponds and streams, a wading pool for children and plenty of walking paths. Considered Amsterdam’s most multicultural park, it draws a diverse local crowd and hosts a variety of festivals throughout the summer. There is also a 'speaker’s stone', where people speak their minds every Sunday at 13:00.

Oostvaardersplassen Nature Reserve

Between Almere and Lelystad lies the extraordinary Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve, where nature decides the rhythm of things. Life in the Oostvaardersplassen has been wonderfully captured in the film 'The New Wilderness'.

Nelson Mandelapark

Formerly known as the Bijlmerpark, this large park in Amsterdam Zuidoost has plenty of areas for sports and recreation, a skate park, a magnolia valley and an arboretum comprising native trees from the many homes of the neighbourhood’s residents.

De Natureluur

Playing grounds ‘De Natureluur’ in Amsterdam West is a dream from little adventurers. Hammocks, climbing trees, floating tree trunks and a treasure hunt with your smartphone

Loosdrechtse Plassen

Waterborne fun is never far away at this recreational area to the south of Amsterdam, dominated by five interconnecting lakes known as the Loosdrechtse Plassen. The lakes are perfect for water sports: sailing, rowing, canoeing, waterskiing and speedboating are all possible here. If taking a boat out yourself is not your thing, then join a sailboat or speedboat excursion, or just relax on a terrace and admire the view from dry land.

De Zuilen

The well-groomed grounds of De Zuilen estate invite guests to not only take a walk in the park, but eat, drink and admire the tulips.

IJmuiden aan Zee Beach

IJmuiden aan Zee has one of the nicest beaches in the Noord Holland province. The extraordinarily wide beach has four pavilions that are open all year round. IJmuiden aan Zee has a blue flag beach, the international rating for the cleanest and safest beaches. The Seaport Marina provides direct access to the sea and offers many facilities like restaurants, shops and a trampoline centre.

Rembrandtpark

Located in Amsterdam West, the Rembrandtpark is an ideal place to sit out in the sun and enjoy a picnic. The park is a green oasis with ponds, playgrounds and walking and biking paths. You can also visit De Uylenburg, the oldest petting zoo in Amsterdam.

Vondelpark

The Vondelpark is Amsterdam's most popular park, attracting thousands of tourists, residents and everyone in between every day.

Flevopark

The Flevopark is located on the edge of the east side of Amsterdam. Large playing fields and the construction of a harbor for rowing boats were intended to meet the needs of the growing youth of the Indische Buurt.

Jisperveld

De Poelboerderij

With its winding channels, unique vegetation, and exquisite bird-watching opportunities, the best way to experience the natural beauty of Old Holland is undoubtedly with a guided nature cruise.

Het Stenen Hoofd

Dating from 1902, this former harbour pier is now a popular park overlooking the river IJ on the edge of Houthavens. The then-vacant lot has been earmarked for everything from luxury residential towers to a prison, even a heliport since the pier was excavated in the 1970s. Today, it’s a popular spot for dog owners, sunbakers in the summer and hosts various cultural events throughout the year. It’s also home to a number of protected wall plants the somewhat rare Saxon fern.

Amstelpark

Located the southern edge of Amsterdam, Amstelpark is an expansive park filled with a multitude of flower gardens, a playground and a petting zoo. There is also an on-site gallery with two exhibition spaces: the Glazen Huis (glass house) and the Orangerie.

Noordpier Beach

Noordpier beach in Velsen-Noord is a wide, tranquil beach just north of the North Sea canal. Thanks to its unique location, it’s the perfect place for those who love both wind and water. There is a surfing centre right on the beach where you can learn to surf or kite surf, as well as rent wetsuits and gear. There are also several pavilions where you can enjoy a variety of refreshments and Restaurant Sea You are open all year round.

Velserbeek park

Walk with your dog in the park, watch the animals at the petting zoo, have fun in the playground or enjoy a drink in the tearoom. Velserbeek country estate offers a wide range of activities.
