If you’re looking for a family vacation idea, Amsterdam should definitely be at the top of your list. Full of artistic culture, fascinating museums, picturesque canals, and shopping centers, this capital city will keep you and the kids busy for the duration of your stay. Here are 10 things you have to check out during your getaway.
1. Vondelpark
Built in 1864, a group of Amsterdam citizens raised money to build this public park that’s now known as Vondelpark. The sprawling urban oasis is perfect for the entire family. You can rollerblade, listen to the live entertainment, or play with your kids on the wooden planks. During the summer, the park puts on free concerts in the open-air theater, and every Friday at 8:30 p.m., skateboarders from all over meet up to show off their tricks in front of the crowd.
