Plantage
Leafy, quiet, historic

Plantage

A leafy, quiet historic district of botanical gardens, the zoo and Jewish heritage.

The Plantage was laid out in the seventeenth century as a district of gardens and pleasure grounds, and it has kept that leafy, low-density calm. The Hortus Botanicus, the Artis zoo and the Wertheimpark sit within a few blocks, alongside the Portuguese Synagogue and the Jewish Cultural Quarter that carry the area's deeper history. It is the quietest of the central districts, more about a slow garden morning than nightlife. Come for the green and stay for the museums that take its memory seriously.
