Walking loops in Plantage, Amsterdam

Quieter than anywhere else in central Amsterdam, Plantage trades canal-house density for broad avenues and green space. The Hortus Botanicus is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world, its greenhouses warm and humid even in January. The Hollandsche Schouwburg, now a Holocaust memorial, faces the old Jewish quarter with a silence that reshapes your afternoon. Artis Zoo's nineteenth-century buildings peek over walls. This is Amsterdam in a reflective mood, unhurried and serious.
