Exploring the Artis Royal Zoo in Amsterdam

Amsterdam has long since been a city known for its amazing history and cultural heritage. Nestled within the city is one of the more unique zoos in all of Europe. While many European nations are home to several excellent zoos, the Artis Royal Zoo in Amsterdam frequently received scores of praise thanks to its amazing collection of rare animals. Those that love to look at "beasties" in their new home will find a trip to the Amsterdam Artis Royal Zoo to be quite memorable.

Also memorable is the architectural design of this zoo. Some may wonder what the design of the zoo has to do with its value. Are not the main reason tourists will explore the zoo to see the animals and not the architecture? Honestly, when the design of the zoo is highly sophisticated, the ability to truly see the zoo animals is increased dramatically. And yes, you can still take a few steps back and marvel at the memorable architecture on its own as well.

One reason the Amsterdam Zoo maintains such a classical look is it has been in existence for close to two centuries. Originally founded in 1838, the Artis Royal zoo is centrally located in the city of Amsterdam. So, no matter where you may have booked your lodgings in the city, you can gain easy access to the zoo through public transportation. Then again, you may even be able to walk to the zoo depending upon where you are staying.

When tourists do reach the grounds of the zoo, they will find it houses a collection of creatures that rivals any other zoo on the planet. In particular, this zoo maintains the most species of animals that face extinction. Over 700 of these animals can be viewed at this amazing zoo.

Additionally, there are 200 varieties of trees that are also facing potential extinction. It would be impossible to examine such a significant amount of trees in one zoo...unless you visit the Amsterdam Artis Royal Zoo, that is. In many ways, you could say if it was not for this zoo many of these animals and trees would be lost to history through succumbing to extinction. Yet, they are preserved at this excellent zoo.

An aquarium is integrated into the attractions at the zoo which is rare as far as zoos go. Not all zoos have an aquarium display and its presence at the Amsterdam Artis Royal Zoo is a huge plus. Why only look at rare animals of the land dwelling variety when so many wonderful creatures live in the sea? Interested tourists can certainly get a glance of what exists in the deep blue through visiting the aquarium exhibit at this zoo.
