Everyone knows that Amsterdam is known for its intricate and beautiful canal system. What most people don’t realize, however, is how many incredible parks are all over the city of Amsterdam as well. These parks are great for sitting and chilling with friends, or going for a bike ride (as Amsterdam is also well-known for its bike paths!). And the best part—they’re free! Here are some of the most beautiful parks in Amsterdam.
Vondelpark
Vondelpark is one of the most popular parks in Amsterdam. Located next to many popular hostels, this park is perfect for travelers to enjoy. It has grassy areas, bike paths, and walking paths. It has beautiful scenery from bodies of water to large trees.

Amsterdamse Bos
