点评:Opened in 1865 and covering an area of about 47 hectares (116 acres) in Southeast of Amsterdam, Vondelpark (named after the 17th-century playwright and poet Joost van den Vondel) is the largest and most-famous park in the Netherlands.
There are numerous types of plants and trees, as well as many birds and small animals (like squirrels), at this beautiful urban park. There’s also an open-air theatre, various ponds, playgrounds, cafés/restaurants (Proeflokaal ‘t Blauwe Theehuis, Grootlkhuis, De Vondeltuin…) and more. The park is very near and easy to get to Van Gogh Museum (1 km), Rijksmuseum (1.3 km), Leidseplein (1.4 km), Heineken Experience (1.7 km).
Vondelpark is a favorite place to go for a walking, running, riding bike along pathways, have a picnic, relax reading books or just rest a bit from so much sightseeing. The number of visitors to the park reaches around 10 million annually. Between April-May visitors could see the park awash with tulips in bloom, and May-September could watch live concerts at the open-air theater.
In 1996, the park was declared a “State monument” (Rijksmonument in Dutch), demonstrating the great cultural and historical value of the space.
P/S: Starting in September 2008, adults were legally allowed to have s.e.x in the park, as long as they must follow 3 rules: activities are limited to the evening hours and night, take their garbage with them afterwards and never have intercourse near the playground. It’s something similar to its Danish neighbor, where public s.e.x is only legal in one designated park, Copenhagen‘s Ørstedsparken.
翻译:冯德尔公园(Vondelpark)于1865年开放,位于阿姆斯特丹东南部,占地约47公顷(116英亩),以17世纪剧作家兼诗人约斯特·范·登·冯德尔(Joost van den Vondel)的名字命名,是荷兰最大、最著名的公园。
这座美丽的城市公园内种植着种类繁多的植物和树木,栖息着许多鸟类和小动物(例如松鼠)。此外,公园内还设有露天剧场、多个池塘、游乐场、咖啡馆/餐厅(例如Proeflokaal ‘t Blauwe Theehuis、Grootlkhuis、De Vondeltuin等)等等。公园交通便利,距离梵高博物馆(1公里)、国立博物馆(1.3公里)、莱顿广场(1.4公里)和喜力啤酒体验馆(1.7公里)都非常近。
冯德尔公园是人们散步、跑步、骑自行车、野餐、放松阅读或在观光之余稍作休息的理想场所。公园每年接待游客约1000万人次。每年4月至5月,公园里郁金香盛开,美不胜收;5月至9月,露天剧场则会举办现场音乐会。
1996年,冯德尔公园被宣布为“国家级文物”(荷兰语:Rijksmonument),彰显了其重要的文化和历史价值。
附注:自2008年9月起,成年人可以在公园内合法进行性行为,但必须遵守以下三条规则:活动时间仅限傍晚或夜间;事后带走垃圾;切勿在游乐场附近发生性行为。这与它的丹麦邻国的情况类似,在丹麦,公共性行为仅在一个指定的公园——哥本哈根的 Ørstedsparken 公园内合法。
