Amsterdam finally has a viewpoint

Amsterdam has just gained another top attraction: the A’DAM Tower in trendy Amsterdam-Noord finally provides the city with a decent viewing platform. The 360-degree view, the ‘Over the Edge’ swing, a cocktail bar and a fabulous restaurant make the crossing from Amsterdam’s Central Station more than worthwhile.

Quotes from famous song lyrics

Singing in the parking garage

Music is the central theme of the A’DAM Tower. It starts in the parking garage where excerpts from famous song lyrics adorn the walls. Visitors can guess to which songs the lines belong. Every company in the tower has an affinity with the music industry. Guitar manufacturer Gibson set up its marketing branch here and ID&T and MassiveMusic also set up their offices in A’DAM. The name of the tower is a play on words. In addition to A’DAM being a common abbreviation for Amsterdam, the letters also represent Amsterdam Dance and Music.

The lift experience

The crowning glory: the Lookout

An unparalleled view of Amsterdam: from the observation deck, you enjoy sweeping views of the canals, the townhouses and the harbours of the Dutch capital. Many locals have never seen this view before. A cool ‘lift experience’ with LED lights and sound effects whisks visitors in 25 seconds to the viewing platform. The view from the roof is enhanced with interactive pillars that provide more information on the culture and history of Amsterdam. Would you like to peer over the edge? Hop on the gigantic ‘Over the Edge’ swing. The view is literally breathtaking.

Soak up the view with a nice glass of wine

Dine with the city as a backdrop

Revolving restaurant Moon is located on the 19th floor. Watch the city go by as you dine. One floor higher you will find the elegant panorama bar, appropriately named Ma’dam. After 10pm, the highest bar in Amsterdam transforms into the highest club in town with great beats and top DJs. Do you prefer the ‘underground’? The basement of A’DAM houses the night club Shelter, where guests can dance the night away.

Spend the night in the A’DAM Tower

Spend the night at Sir Adam

Ready to go to sleep? No need to leave the tower. After dinner and a night of dancing, relax in one of the elegantly appointed rooms of the luxury urban boutique hotel Sir Adam. The ground floor lobby also features The Butcher Social Club; a restaurant with a terrace on the river where non-hotel guests are also welcome, 24 hours a day. An inviting destination for locals and travellers.

Citytrip

Spending the weekend in Amsterdam? Get local and go by bike! It’s the best way to get from A to B without missing a single thing. Oh yes, this city has more to offer than the Van Gogh Museum, the flower market and coffee shops. With just a few tips, we would like to introduce you to the city that caters for all tastes with its endless list of activities and possibilities.

Arts & Culture

Innovative, visionary and imaginative: the work of the late 15th-century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch was truly groundbreaking. On display in museums around the world, his paintings still inspire countless visitors. 2016 marks the 500th anniversary of his death. There will be a series of events throughout the whole year to celebrate the life of this ingenious painter. All events will take place in ’s-Hertogenbosch (Den Bosch), his home town and one of the most beautiful medieval cities in the Netherlands.

Nightlife

With over 350 events, 2,200 DJs and more than 80 clubs and venues, the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) is the largest electronic dance festival in the world. The most high-profile party during this 5-day long event in October is the Amsterdam Music Festival (AMF). The first edition of the AMF took place in 2013 and in less than 2 years this new festival has become a household name in the world of dance music.

Arts & Culture

Hundreds of historical ships on the water and countless activities on the quayside: SAIL Amsterdam 2015 will be one big extravaganza. This nautical event arrives in capital of the Netherlands every 5 years, and this 9th edition promises to be even more impressive and inspiring than ever before!

Nightlife

Without any false modesty, the organisers call it ‘the World’s Leading Dance Event’. Take a closer look at the facts and figures and you will see why. Sensation is the largest and most successful dance party in the world, drawing 40,000 visitors each year in Amsterdam and hosting international editions in 32 countries. To organise such a mega-event takes a monumental effort.

Nightlife

The 15th Sensation edition will not be going on an international tour and can only be experienced in Amsterdam. According to organiser Duncan Stutterheim: “This is a landmark event that deserves an exclusive show.” This event expects to welcome more foreign visitors than ever from 75 countries. Many visitors don’t fly home the next day but stay to explore the famous Amsterdam nightlife scene.

Arts & Culture

2015 marks exactly 125 years since the death of Vincent van Gogh. The painter still inspires many artists today. In memory of his life and work, many European countries are paying tribute to Van Gogh with unique exhibitions and celebrations.

Arts & Culture

The interactive exhibitions in Amsterdam’s Resistance Museum provide an impressive insight into the Netherlands in WWII. During this period, from 1940-1945, several Dutch people did their best to undermine the German occupation at great risk to their own lives. The fascinating collection is based on personal stories that showcase all the different actions undertaken by the Dutch in wartime.

Arts & Culture

The stately Royal Palace on Dam Square is one of the main historic monuments in Amsterdam. In the 17th century, the imposing building in the city centre was dubbed the ‘eighth wonder of the world’. Nowadays it is mainly used for official receptions and royal events, although the antique interior and beautiful art collection are open to the general public throughout the year.
