Zuidas Beethoven
Beethoven is immediately adjacent to the Beatrixpark, one of Amsterdam's oldest, modern city parks. To the east, the area is flanked by the RAI Amsterdam exhibition site and to the south by the A10 ring road. It is also next to the Beethovenstraat, meaning that the city centre and the ring road are a stone's throw away for car traffic and public transport. A number of key cycle routes also pass through the area. The presence of the Beatrixpark means there are plenty of well-maintained pedestrian routes. Beethoven is an area which is largely free of car traffic and is easy to get to by train because Station Amsterdam Zuid is just a 5-minute walk away. The Beethoven area in Zuidas is being developed into a mixed residential and work location with various facilities.
