Attractions and sights

kasteel-groeneveld-achterzijde-23748

Castle and estate Groeneveld

Groeneveld Castle in Baarn is an 18th century country estate and one of the most beautiful examples of a country house from that time. In the 17th century, merchants and regents visited country estates to distance themselves from the city. This was the place where people enjoyed the good life, peace, space, fresh air, nature, culture, good food and good conversations.

Stadspark Osdorp

Stadspark Osdorp is a park in the Osdorp district of Amsterdam. It is a fairly new park, it was expanded in 1990 and took its current shape in the following years as part of the large-scale urban renewal of Osdorp. The park is located along the west side of Hoekenes between Tussen Meer and Pieter Calandlaan and east of Wolbrantskerkweg and Koos Vorrinkweg.

Vogeltjeswei

Vogeltjeswei celebrates its 25th anniversary this year! The name of the district has a real piece of 'Bijlmer history'. In the years when there were no building plans for this residential area, this piece of uncultivated land was enthusiastically used by the Bird Association RingMasters Amsterdam.

Kas Keerweer

Kas Keerweer is a green place for the neighbourhood. The greenhouse belongs to the municipality and is managed by the Kas Keerweer Foundation, which is, in turn, run by volunteers. Objectives of the Foundation: to manage the Greenhouse and to organise and facilitate neighbourhood activities that contribute to cohesion and promote a love for plants, gardening and the planet. The Kas is a remnant from the time when that part of De Baarsjes was full of market gardens.

Tuin van Jan

Jan's Garden consists of strong plants, which are very suitable for the biotope behind the Jan Evertsenstraat. The plants have been chosen in such a way that something blooms and grows every season.

Op de Tunnel (Houthavenpark)

Op de Tunnel is a connecting neighborhood event for the Spaarndammers & Houthaven Residents.

Kolenkitkas

The KolenkitKas is a meeting place in the Vrouwengelukhof, the public courtyard of the Rhapsody. It is a place to come together, to share, and to shape to your own will. The KolenkitKas is managed by a team of residents from the Kolenkit, and together with other local residents they determine the programming for the neighbourhood

De Gibraltar

The De Gibraltar Foundation runs an accessible neighbourhood home in the Bos en Lommer neighbourhood of Amsterdam. It is a place where many local residents feel welcome, so it can rightly be called a neighbour's home. The meeting centre is located in a wheelchair-friendly playground. Children, adults and the elderly can participate in a variety of activities, such as sports and games, creativity, cooking (healthy) and eating together. The heart of the building is the coffee salon overlooking the wheelchair-friendly and inclusive playground.

Natuurtuin Slatuinen

It is sometimes called a 'hidden paradise': the Natural Garden Salatuinen. In addition to the great spotted woodpecker, maples and wild butterflies, countless other species of flowers, plants, birds and small mammals find a peaceful place here in the middle of the hectic West District: a special place that is also managed in a special way.

Amsteltuin Vineyard

The unique Wijngaard de Amsteltuin is located in a quiet and green spot in Amstelveen, a stone's throw from Amsterdam. 3,500 grape plants grow on 1.5 hectares and produce interesting wines. Here you will find peace, space and a relaxed atmosphere. Whether you come for a meeting, party, tasting or daytime activities, you will quickly feel at home in the Amsteltuin.

Oostvaardersplassen Outdoor Centre

A visit to the Oostvaardersplassen is an introduction to the Netherlands thousands of years ago. A wilderness like nowhere else in Europe.

Westeinderplassen

Take to the water and enjoy an adventure boating on the lakes and through the network of channels that link the Westeinderplassen.

Strand IJburg

Strand IJburg is a lovely city beach in Amsterdam Oost, which is part of Strandeiland, the largest island of the IJburg archipelago. Nice weather? Leave the busy city centre and discover a new part of Amsterdam for swimming, sports and relaxing. Bring your picnic basket and your BBQ, because you can barbecue on IJburg beach!

Westerpark

Located in Amsterdam West, the Westerpark is a wonderful place to walk, skate, relax or have a picnic with friends. This green expanse dotted with trees and ponds is part of the Gashouder complex, a former gasworks that was completely renovated in recent years. Besides the park, this area is home to a nice selection of cafés, restaurants and bars, as well as an art-house cinema and a variety of small creative businesses. Many large cultural events take place here throughout the year, and certain buildings can be rented by the public for events, parties or even weddings.

Tuinen van West

Tuinen van West (Gardens of West) is a combination of old and new landscapes, and suitable for all kinds of purposes such as art/culture, (urban) agriculture and healthy products, catering, nature and sports/recreation.

Gaasperplas Park

The Gaasperplas is a recreational area and nature reserve with a lake and water sports centre, offering canoeing, swimming, rowing, sailing and windsurfing. The Gaasperplas area was used as the site of the Floriade garden show in 1982, and later turned into a public park. With more than 5 kilometres of paths, you can explore the park by foot, bicycle or horseback. At the edge of the park you’ll find the Gaasperping campsite.
