Rise above Amsterdam at the A'DAM Lookout, the rooftop viewpoint across the IJ. Ride the light-show elevator up, take in the skyline from the deck, and try the swing if you dare.

Full description

A'DAM Lookout sits on the north bank of the IJ, reached by a free ferry from behind Centraal Station. A light-show elevator carries visitors to a 20-storey rooftop, where the viewing deck looks back over the city's canals and skyline.

Beyond the panorama, the venue has a restaurant and bar and an over-the-edge swing for those comfortable with heights. Reviewers note the tower has been renovated and works for both daytime and evening visits.

It is a good fit for couples and photographers, and about an hour covers the deck, a drink and the swing.

Reviews

There is a free ferry every couple of minutes to the other side of the city. We went there quickly but i guess it depends on the time slot. A great and fun activity if you are not scared of heights and open spaces. I would also recommend going before sunset to enjoy an amazing panoramic scene of the whole city!
