During my recent trip to Amsterdam, I stayed in CitizenM Amsterdam South, which is just across the road from Beatrixpark and within a short walking distance to the Amsterdam Zuid station. So naturally, walking through this 42 acres green oasis is a must. Named after Queen Beatrix (the former Dutch Queen), this English-style park was created in the 1930s, and has been the site of numerous events and festivals since then, including the garden and agricultural exhibition and music festivals. It may not be as highly-spoken of as compared to Amsterdam's other more illustrious parks such as Vondelpark, but it's still a lovely and romantic park to unwind in. You will easily find your own quiet spots for picnic and relaxation amidst the lush greenery, winding pathways, small pavilions and serene ponds and waterways. There's even a herb garden to explore and a paddling pool and playground with a sandpit for the kids.
