Lonely Planet review

This sprawling park was laid out in the 1880s to accommodate the nouveaux rich of the city's diamond traders who benefited from the South African diamond boom. The park makes a fine diversion if you're heading to the nearby Tropenmuseum. Between the museum and the large pond stands the Spreeksteen, a little Hyde Park Corner where orators of every ilk can have their say; see www.spreeksteen.nl for the erratic schedule.
