The Artis Zoo is located in the city centre of Amsterdam and was founded in 1838. This makes it the oldest Zoo of The Netherlands and you really see this at some buildings. The Aquarium almost looks like a temple, a beautiful piece of architecture. The most interesting however are gardens, parks and the animals. We took some beautiful pictures of monkeys, lizards, lions, giraffes, okapi’s, bears and many more. A few of these pictures were added below to give you an impression of the animals at the Artis Zoo of Amsterdam.

We namen enkele mooie foto’s van apen, hagedissen, leeuwen, giraffen, okapi’s, beren en nog veel meer. Enkele van deze foto’s hebben we hieronder toegevoegd om u een impressie te geven van de dieren in de Artis Zoo van Amsterdam..

ReplyDeleteeen mooie impressie van de dierentuin Artis. Ik moet mij eigenlijk schamen, ik ben er nog nooit gewest. Fijne dag en avond, Dietmut
ReplyDeleteThe big cats are wonderful. Fabulous old structure too.
ReplyDeleteA zoo like this allows many people to see the animals up close which can be good. I do wonder about how the animals like it though....
ReplyDeleteOur ZOO in Budapest is 146 years old in this year. A really nice place and do not hesitate to visit it if you come to Hungary :)
