Artis

ARTIS Royal Zoo, officially known as Natura Artis Magistra, is the oldest zoo in the Netherlands and one of the oldest in mainland Europe, founded in 1838. Located in the leafy Plantage district of Amsterdam, ARTIS offers a unique blend of nature, culture, and science within a beautifully landscaped, historical setting. The zoo is home to over 700 animal species—from majestic elephants and lions to colorful tropical birds and tiny reptiles—spread across lush enclosures and 19th-century buildings.

Beyond its diverse animal habitats, ARTIS is also a center for learning and discovery. The Aquarium showcases life from Amsterdam’s canals to coral reef ecosystems, while the Planetarium offers immersive shows about space and the cosmos. One of its most innovative features is Micropia, the world’s only museum dedicated entirely to microbes, giving visitors an engaging look at the smallest—and most essential—forms of life on Earth.

The newly renovated ARTIS-Groote Museum explores the deep interconnections between humans, animals, plants, and the environment through thought-provoking exhibits and interactive installations. The zoo’s grounds also include a botanical garden, a library, a range of sculptures, and 27 historical monuments and buildings, many of which still serve as animal houses or educational spaces.

With its mix of natural beauty, architectural heritage, and scientific engagement, ARTIS provides a truly enriching experience for all ages. Whether you’re visiting with family, exploring solo, or looking for a serene escape in the city, ARTIS remains one of Amsterdam’s most treasured cultural destinations.
