The beautiful Vondelpark is one of the oldest and largest public parks of Amsterdam. In summer this is the favorite places of locals to enjoy the sun. The Vondelpark offers a great opportunity for riding bicycle. Situated north of the park is Oud-West, a very relaxed part of town with lots of restaurants, cafés and bars. And just a few minutes away by bicycle you can find the best museums of the Netherlands.
