Calm, green, cultured
Oud-Zuid
The calm, green south of grand museums, broad avenues and the Vondelpark.
Oud-Zuid is the city's calm, well-built south: broad avenues, the Vondelpark as a shared back garden, and the Museumkwartier with the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh and the Stedelijk within a few minutes of each other. Around the P.C. Hooftstraat the shopping turns formal, but the residential streets behind it stay quiet and green. This is where Amsterdam keeps its grandest collections and its most measured pace. Come for a full museum morning, then let the park slow you down for the rest of the day.
