Next to the Amsterdamse Bos. Amsterdam’s great urban forest borders Amstelveen, and the Thijssepark lies to the south. It is an area for anyone who wants to run, cycle or simply sleep in green surroundings. In summer a museum tram runs through.

Southern and eastern neighbourhoods. Bovenkerk, Nes aan de Amstel and the part of Ouderkerk aan de Amstel that belongs to Amstelveen are quieter areas beside the River Amstel. They suit you if you are driving.

Getting there and around

To get to Amsterdam you have two trams. Line 5 runs from the Stadshart to Amsterdam Zuid, and line 25 (Amsteltram) links Amsterdam Zuid with Uithoorn through Amstelveen. At Amsterdam Zuid you connect with the metro to the centre and with trains to the airport and the rest of the country.
