Museumpark
A beautiful botanical garden in the middle of the city, the Museumpark is divided into different sections, each with its own distinct layout and vegetation. In the warmer months the park is awash with a rainbow of colours from all the different kinds of flowers, and there are lovely trees everywhere as well. One of the best places in the park is near to the bridge, by the memorial for city engineer G.J. de Jongh. Here there is a beautiful mosaic put together by many of the city’s artists, representing Rotterdam and its environs in the 1920s.

The Park
A large, beautiful park on the Maas river, this park was built on the rubble left after Rotterdam was bombed, and has transformed a ruined area of the city into a peaceful haven. There are old and exotic trees, ponds, streams, and grassy places, as well as some unusual buildings and nice restaurants. Deep in the middle of the park is a labyrinth and the Heerenhuys, a mansion dating from 1800.

Trompenburg Arboretum
A “pleasure garden” founded in 1820, this is a lovely place for a stroll where you can see a wide variety of trees, bushes, perennials and bulb flowers, growing together in a lush, well-maintained array of greenery and colour. The arboretum is spread over six hectacres and is a popular attraction, visited by some 60,000 people a year.

Kralingse Wood
By far the largest park in Rotterdam, the Kralingse Wood contains 550 acres of trees, with a big lake in the middle, located to the northeast of the city. It is the most popular park in Rotterdam for joggers and skaters, and is also an ideal place for walking. There are water sports centres here, and visitors can sail on the lake, and go canoeing, rowing and swimming.
