If the rough sides of Amsterdam are wearing you down, why not visit Vondelpark. Vondelpark is a public park within walking distance of the coffee shops and bars of the red-light district and will give you a chance to clear your mind and find a bit of tranquility before diving back into the hurly-burly that Amsterdam has on offer.
It's location is south of Leidseplein, near to the Rijksmuseum. In June, July and August there are free concerts and open-air theatre performances and on Wednesday afternoons in summer there are free children's performances.
