Vondel Park is one of our favorite escapes in Amsterdam.  It is a park that is in the heart of the city (very close to  Leidseplein and Museumplein).  To us a morning or an afternoon spent there feels like a little slice of heaven.  Abundant greenery, an eclectic mix of people (seniors, children, teens, adults), professionals and vacationers, beautiful buildings, flowers in bloom and some interesting objects all make for a lovely break.
