Location & Accessibility

Milletstraat is located in the highly desirable Apollobuurt area of Amsterdam-Zuid, a quiet and green residential neighborhood known for its characteristic architecture and wide, tree-lined streets. The street has a pleasant atmosphere with predominantly local traffic, contributing to a relaxed and comfortable living environment.

Despite its peaceful setting, vibrant city life is just around the corner. Within walking distance are Beethovenstraat, Cornelis Schuytstraat, and Olympiaplein, offering a wide range of luxury boutiques, specialty shops, and high-end restaurants. Nearby you will find, among others, Bakery Le Fournil, Fromagerie L’Amuse, and several popular restaurants such as Ferilli’s and wine bar QV. Cozy cafés and delicatessen stores are also plentiful in the area.

For relaxation and recreation, both Beatrixpark and Vondelpark are nearby, as well as various sports facilities around Olympiaplein. The neighborhood also offers a wide selection of renowned primary and secondary schools, including several international schools, making this location especially suitable for families.

Accessibility is excellent. Amsterdam Zuid Station is located nearby and provides fast train, metro, and bus connections, including the North/South metro line and a direct connection to Schiphol Airport. Amsterdam city center is also easily and quickly accessible by both bicycle and public transport. By car, the S108 and S109 roads provide quick access to the A10 ring road, offering excellent connections to the rest of the Randstad area. Parking is available through the municipal permit system of the City of Amsterdam (permit area Zuid).

Milletstraat is named after Jean-François Millet (1815–1875), the French landscape painter (source: Amsterdam City Atlas).
