About this route

Start around lunchtime and leave the afternoon for the park. A practical coffeeshop stop and a proper lunch give way to an afternoon outdoors, with the park doing most of the entertaining. Coffeeshop DNA · around 20 minutes Start at DNA for a focused pickup. This is the practical opening to the afternoon: take time to choose, then keep moving. The longer stop comes later, somewhere with considerably more trees. Allow around 10 minutes to walk to lunch. De Drie Graefjes — Zuid Lunchroom · around 50 minutes With the first stop handled, settle into lunch on Stadionplein. Eat properly before the walk so the park can be about relaxing rather than immediately looking for somewhere else to get food. Allow around 30 minutes to reach and settle into Vondelpark. Vondelpark · around 60 minutes Find a quieter spot and let the afternoon stretch out. Wander a little, sit a lot, and give yourself permission to have no particularly impressive plans.
