Right

museum, is
one of the most luxurious shopping streets
of Amsterdam, the P.C. Hooftstraat
with its rich share of haute couture
boutiques and stores.
Other sights you
can visit while in this neighbourhood are
the Egyptian
Coptic Church as well as the Tram Museum
. This museum is special in

Forest".

The
largest city park in Amsterdam,
the Vondelpark, is also
in the Oud-Zuid neighbourhood
. This park can be a complete holiday
destination in itself! It is so large that it takes nearly half an hour to bike
through its length. At the park you can see locals and tourists walking, biking
or skating, playing or simply lazing. Its hosts an open air theatre where concerts
are held during the summers. The park also hosts a film museum and offers six
play areas for children where sometimes the film museums offer performances for
kids.
