Wester-Amstel is the oldest country estate along the Amstel. Stroll through stately gardens, soak up the tranquility of the countryside, and enjoy live jazz concerts, all just minutes away from Amsterdam.
Wester-Amstel in autumn colors
October is the last month you can visit the Wester-Amstel estate on weekends. Once a summer retreat for wealthy city dwellers, today it’s a green oasis just outside the city. Escaping the hustle of the city is a pleasure here in every season, not only in summer.
Walk through the historic gardens filled with sculptures and monuments and enjoy the peace, while the Amstel river flows just around the bend.

Culture along the Amstel
Wester-Amstel isn’t the only cultural gem along the Amstel. Get inspired at the same spots where Rembrandt once painted (a statue marks one of his favorite places), discover the graves of historical figures at Zorgvlied cemetery, and end your day with a local beer at a pop-up café in a historic hunting lodge.
Discover it all along this route.
