hello people
im planning my first trip to amsterdam and i have been searching past posts, but cant seem to find any relating to how long it takes to walk from the RLD to vondel park. im staying at the hotel vijaya, oudezijds voorburgwal 44. and its hard to estimate the walking time by looking at a map of a place where you have never been before. so if anyone has any idea how long it takes to walk from the vijaya to vondel park it would be a great help to me and much appreciated. also just wanted to say that i have gotten some really great information of this site and im sure it will help me out a great deal when i hit amsterdam.
thanks MADVILLIAN

It obviously depends on how fast you walk, but you should be able to go from the RLD to Vondel Park in around 30 to 35 minutes.

I would say an hour, Its a long ass hook, catch a tram or a cab.Thats why I never considered staying by Vondel Park, to far from the Red Light

I agree with you wholeheartedly ABC, when walking. But if you're on two wheels, I think the big grachts are surely the most scenic, easy to follow routes to go "cross-town"!

Just bear in mind that the centre of Amsterdam is basically a spider's web.
Make sure you carry a detailed map.

Also be alert to street name changes on some corners.
