Known forindustrial heritagecultural parkeventscreative
A sprawling park built around a converted 19th-century gasworks complex (Westergasfabriek), blending green lawns with industrial heritage and a lively cultural scene. The park hosts outdoor film screenings, markets, and festivals throughout the year, and the surrounding café terraces are excellent. It draws a creative, local crowd and feels authentically Amsterdam rather than tourist-facing. The park itself is free but events and venues within the Westergasfabriek complex may charge entry.
