Amsterdam’s hidden green escapes By Ilse Woorts

Behind the iconic canal houses of Amsterdam lies a side of the city many visitors never see. Step through those heavy front doors and you’ll discover peaceful private gardens, hidden away from the busy streets filled with bikes, trams and tourists.

Walking along the Herengracht and Prinsengracht, you mainly notice the historic façades, but the real surprise is what’s behind them. These gardens, often centuries old, are carefully maintained and filled with greenery, classic layouts and quiet corners that feel far removed from the city’s energy.

During special open garden days, many of these unique spaces become accessible to the public. It’s a rare opportunity to explore places normally reserved for residents, museums or hotels. Each garden has its own character, from elegant formal designs to more relaxed, natural settings.

Along the route, you may pass through private hallways, historic buildings and even hidden courtyards, making the experience feel personal and unexpected. Some locations also include small exhibitions or unique interiors, adding an extra layer to the visit.

For those looking to experience Amsterdam differently, this is a calm and authentic way to discover the city. Take your time, wander from one address to the next and enjoy a quieter side of Amsterdam that remains hidden to most.

Den Bosch: slow travel at its best
