Lonely Planet review

South of the ringway, in the suburb of Buitenveldert, lies the vast Amstelpark, grounds of an international flower show in 1972. The park is a paradise for kids, with a petting zoo, mini-golf, pony rides and a playground. In summer a miniature train chugs its way around the park. Other attractions include rose and rhododendron gardens, and art exhibitions are held in the Glazen Huis (Glass House), Orangerie and Papillon Gallery.

Just outside the south edge of the park you'll see the Riekermolen. In a field southwest of the mill you'll find a statue of a sitting Rembrandt, who made sketches here along the riverbank.

To get there, take the metro to Amsterdam RAI or tram 4.
