Amsterdam North

If you take a canal tour you will see the iconic circular building which houses THIS IS HOLLAND just three minutes away from Amsterdam Central Station to the North. There is a FREE shuttle ferry to Buiksloterweg, which leaves from outside Central Station every four minutes and runs 24/7. A great incentive to get out to the North of Amsterdam. It’s a unique experience to get onto the ferry and see people on their mopeds and Bicycles getting ready to ride off as you enjoy the short ferry ride.

A’DAM 360 Lookout (and Swing)

A’DAM LOOKOUT is an observation deck with a 360 degree view of Amsterdam. You’ll also find an interactive exhibition here about Amsterdam’s history and culture next to a very trendy looking bar complete with very comfortable seating you can easily spend many hours here chillin’ and taking in the beautiful panoramic views of Amsterdam.

On the sky deck if you are brave enough you can experience, ‘Over the Edge’ – Europe’s highest swing. I gave this a miss!

You will help to support local community events and courses.

EYE Film Museum

A stunning building, and I highly recommend going inside to have a look, the interior is just as visually appealing and there is a lot to check out.
