Oldest Zoo in the Netherlands

While visiting in Amsterdam, you must go see the Artis Zoo, a historical and fascinating zoo. It was founded in 1838 and is known to be the oldest zoo in the Netherlands. You will find it in the center of the city close to an area called Zuidoostbeemster. Maybe you are staying in one of the many Amsterdam hotels that are in this center of the city.
The Hotel Barbacan Amsterdam is a two star hotel located near the zoo in a residential area with the same facilities of a three star, just with no elevator. All the rooms have a TV, safe and a telephone. Another hotel that is near the zoo is the Hotel Palntage Amsterdam, another two star hotel. This is a cozy and small hotel with accommodations for those on a budget.
Once you have your hotel, you can visit the zoo and enjoy its natural beauty and charming atmosphere. There are hundreds of animals on exhibit and the zoo is always a good place for families on holiday. There is also a planetarium, plants and museums near by that everyone will admire. The zoo is always a relaxing place for the whole family and spending the day there is a nice break from the site seeing.
