Großartiger Park mitten in Amsterdam. Echt ein Erlebnis. Gerade viele Baustellen und manchmal könnte es auch etwas gepflegter sein.
Joost van den Vondel (Dutch: [ˈjoːst fɑn dəɱ ˈvɔndəl]; 17 November 1587 – 5 February 1679) was the Dutch national poet, as well as an essayist, and playwright. He is widely considered the best poet of the 17th-century Dutch Golden Age and the pinnacle of Dutch literature.
Vondel remained productive until a very old age. Several of his most notable plays like Lucifer (play) [nl] and Adam in Exile [nl] were written after 1650, when he was already 65, and his final play Noah (play) [nl], written at the age of eighty, is considered one of his finest.
His plays are the ones from that period that are still most frequently performed, and his epic Joannes de Boetgezant (1662), on the life of John the Baptist, has been called the greatest Dutch epic.

Cool statue in the middle of Vondelpark, easily walked up to and grounds are well maintained.
Walked in the park for some time. Very relaxing atmosphere and recommended to spend a quiet time alone or with others.
Getting by transportation is easy just be ware of any construction work in the area if coming by car.

Located in the VondelParken this statue provides an ideal location to rest. The statue is surrounded by a diverse arrangement of flowers and shrubs. There is also a pond close by which is nice to look at. I would recommend this as a suitable location for eating cake and/or lunch. There are also plenty of bins near by.
One of the interesting things to see at Vondelpark is the large monument to 17th-century Dutch playwright Joost van den Vondel.
This monument is the work of Dutch sculptor Louis Royer (1867) who also created the Rembrandt statue at Rembrandt Square. Here you find a bronze statue of a middle-aged Vondel, seated with a book in one hand and a pen in the other.
The statue is atop a decorative plinth that was created by important 19th-century Dutch architect, Pierre Cuypers and includes gold engravings and four angels. There is a large circular base that is surrounded by flower beds.
The monument is a nice depiction of Vondel for whom the park was later named and is worth making time to see if you plan to visit the northeast area of Vondelpark.
