Amsterdam-South

Amsterdam

Looking for a fun, relaxed time? Amsterdam-South is the place to go. Here you'll find Vondelpark, built in the second half of the 19th century and named for the poet Joost van den Vondel, whose statue was erected here in 1867. If you're a Van Gogh lover, then the Van Gogh Museum is a must--it hosts the world's largest collection of everything Van Gogh, from his paintings and drawings to his letters. Nearby you'll find the Rijksmuseum, considered to be the "national treasure of the Netherlands," featuring artists including Rembrandt, whose painting "Night Watch" is the centre piece, Vermeer, Frans Hals, and Jan Steen.
