Have you ever wondered what it’s like to have sex in Vondelpark? As the largest and most popular park in Amsterdam, Vondelpark has a unique and vibrant history. Founded in 1864 by a group of philanthropists, the park was named after the poet Joost van den Vondel. During the 1960s and 1970s, it became a famous meeting place for hippies, adding to its colorful past.

Starting in September 2008, it became legal for adults to engage in sexual activities in the park under specific conditions. The first condition is to stay away from playgrounds, and the second is to limit these activities to the evening hours and night.
