"Nature meets culture at Amsterdam’s first municipal park, an expansive green space on the city’s western edge. Opened in 1845, the park encompasses Westergasfabriek, a cultural center set in 13 red-brick, neo-renaissance-style buildings that once housed the city’s gasworks and are now home to festivals and markets throughout the year. A headless woman floating in a pond with a fountain is a conversation starter while a petting zoo and wading pond offer fun for kids of all ages. Permanent fixtures of the culture park include the Troost Brewery, Westerunie nightclub, and Het Ketelhuis cinema, plus a slew of restaurants and other entertainment venues." - MATADOR_NETWORK
