A leafy pocket park in the heart of De Pijp, with ponds, a monument to Samuel Sarphati and lawns full of locals.

Amsterdam's most-loved park: 47 hectares of winding ponds, lawns and an open-air theatre, a few minutes from the Museumkwartier.

A lively green strip wrapped around the Westergas culture complex — meadows, water and former gasworks turned bars and galleries.
