The Vondelpark is an English-style park with ponds, lawns, thickets and winding footpaths was laid out in the 1860s and 1870s for the bourgeoisie. It was named after the poet and playwright Joost van Den Vondel (1587-1679), the Shakespeare of the Netherlands.
About 2 km long and 300 m wide, the park is a Mecca for families with kids, couples in love, street musicians, joggers, inline skaters, in short: anybody who enjoys lush green surroundings.
From June to August free concerts are held in its open air theatre and there are always musicians performing throughout the park. The functionalist Round Blue Teahouse (1936) serves coffee with wonderful cake. A stand near the Amstelveenseweg entrance at the south western end of the park rents inline skates and gloves.
