The Apollo neighborhood is part of the Beethoven neighborhood. It is an important part of Amsterdam from an urban planning perspective, where the urban planning stamp was left by architect Berlage's ideas and designs. Berlage devised a pattern of streets, avenues, and canals where blocks of houses, lots of public green space, and villas alternated with mansions to form a whole. This created the basis for the characteristic features of this 1930s neighborhood, which is almost entirely surrounded by water: the spacious residences were ultimately designed in the Amsterdam School style. The facade stones and bridge sculptures by Hildo Krop, who was awarded the honorary title of City Sculptor of Amsterdam, also lend the neighborhood cachet. The neighborhood was designed as a residential and family area, with facilities for schools and sports. The Beatrixpark completed the neighborhood. In Beethovenstraat, coffee bars and restaurants such as Brasserie Margaux and Ferilli's give the street and the neighborhood a young and dynamic character. On Olympiaplein, you will find the bakery Le Fournil and Fromagerie L'Amuse. Butcher Zikking is located on Marathonweg. The wide avenues and greenery of Beatrixpark, with its modern sculptures and old trees, create a feeling of space and are ideal for sports and relaxation. The neighborhood is known for its good primary and secondary schools and also for its convenient location in relation to the Ring, Amsterdam Zuid station, and the Rai. De Pijp and the city center are within easy reach from here.
