Artis, the oldest zoo in the Netherlands, founded in 1838, shows its historical character even before you walk through the gates: two golden eagles are perched proudly atop the main entrance. People enjoy the 19th-century atmosphere of the gardens: the winding paths, majestic trees, the fascinating sculptures and the monumental historical buildings. Artis is a haven of peace and quietness right in the city centre of Amsterdam. Don’t ask us why, but their mascotte “Artis de Partis” has become really popular, so make sure you bring one home!
