Looking at this beautiful building in the style of the Italian Renaissance, it is hard to imagine that until 1921 this place in the city was the lowest point. Since its opening in 1881, this beautiful building has been a traditional meeting place for Amsterdam bohemia. Since 1950, the annual Amsterdam Festival of Music and Performing Arts was held here, and from 1972 to 2012, the cinema museum was located here. Today, the Vondel pavilion is often mentioned with the prefix CS, which translates from Latin “Cum Suis” as "among its own." It has become a platform for young initiatives in the field of art, television, and broadcasting.

A personal guide to the museum quarter has been carefully planned and prepared for you by the Conservatorium Hotel. Our hotel is directly related to this exquisite cultural quarter of the city because the conservatory once occupied the building in which the hotel is located. The museum quarter adorns Amsterdam like the Kohinoor diamond adorns the crown of the British Empire. Between them, by the way, there is a direct relationship, which you will learn about from a trip. The walk will introduce you to the history and unexpected twists and turns of the fate of the inhabitants of the quarter, its buildings and houses, and of course, will lead you and learn about the most famous and visited museum square in the world. The walk is planned for the whole day and combines relaxing in the park and visiting museums. However, you can divide the trip into two parts. Architecture, history, shops, and the park from stop 1 to stop 9. Museums from stop 10 to the end of the trip. For your convenience, download the route to your phone, and thus you will not be dependent on a network connection. Have a nice walk.
