Marine Terrain
Amsterdam's best-kept secret
Parks in Amsterdam are packed with people, especially in summer. So my recommendation for a nice spot where you can also swim is "Marine Terrain!"

Flevopark
Hidden gem of a park
"Flevopark" in Amsterdam is a hidden gem of a park! You can barbeque wherever you want here and it's way less crowded than other parks like the Vondelpark.

Westerpark
My beautiful backyard
"Westerpark" is fairly quiet for Amsterdam standards. I am here almost every day of the week, and I feel like I've explored all it has to offer...

Rembrandt Park
Peace and quiet
"Rembrandt Park" in Amsterdam is big. Really big. And it isn't busy like other parks. It's just quiet, relaxing nature. No cafés or restaurants...

OBA
Public library
"OBA", the public library in Amsterdam's Oosterdok, has all the usual books to borrow, but I like going to the basement & reading a newspaper in the quiet.
