The 23 best observation decks in Amsterdam

A’DAM Lookout offers an amazing view of Amsterdam — definitely worth a visit! The view is especially beautiful in the evening when the city lights come on. Just keep in mind that there’s an entrance fee of around €18–€19 per person, and if you want to go on the famous swing at the top, that’s an extra €7.50.

I love getting a view from you high when visiting a new city. This place provides a fantastic 360 view. The inside has tables to eat and drink at and then there is a view just above that from the outside. There's a little drink and snack stand outside with some seating. There's also swings that go out over the edge of the building. I skipped those, but if you're looking for a thrill go for it. There's also music constantly playing. I'd recommend this to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

We pre booked for 11am on a Saturday morning, there was no wait, we went straight to the swing, then to the lookout platform. The views are amazing, the staff were friendly and the food and drink are excellent! Would definitely recommend if youre visiting Amsterdam! Would probably suggest that sort of time, as it did get busy the later it got.

Cool spot to see Amsterdam from above with a swing ride over the edge. The bar up top has a good selection of drinks. Only down side is finding seating if you want to sit down to enjoy your drink

Friendly, helpful staff, fantastic views across Amsterdam. No brave (or crazy) enough to try the swing at the edge of the roof. The free ferry gets you from Amsterdam Central Station across to the lookout. The only disappointment was the gift shop, I didn't see anything worth buying.

First of all, let’s be clear — this place is neither free nor cheap. If you’re okay with spending at least 20 euros, then it’s worth checking out. The entrance is 19 euros and the swing ticket costs around 7 euros, and drinks like a small beer or soda are about 4 euros. The view is spectacular — you can see the canals, cruise ships, and the city skyline. However, the swing ride itself is very brief, lasting only 1–2 minutes. They do take photos during the ride and offer a free low-quality version or a high-quality one for 25 euros. If you want better memories without paying that price, bring someone to take photos for you.

Excellent place to visit, not only to see Amsterdam from up high, but also to take in the history of the tower and the transformation to what it is today. The VR rollercoaster is good, and so too are views from the swing. We were in a party of 3, so the lad got lucky and was allowed 2 turns on the swing. One with me and one with Mum. Wasn’t busy, but was a nice touch.

This museum is brilliant for kids, it is aimed more for kids than adults. There is loads of interacting to do. The husband and i did enjoy some of the interacting parts and had a few laughs. The rooftop cafe was nice, views were lovely. I wouldn't visit again.

The science museum offered a truly fantastic experience. It was especially engaging for younger visitors, with plenty to explore. Many exhibits were captivating and held the interest of all ages. Interactive displays made learning fun and accessible for everyone. Overall, it was a remarkable place to spend the day.

Amazing experience at NEMO Science Museum! I visited NEMO today and was truly impressed. It’s not just a museum but a lively world of science designed for both kids and adults. Everything is interactive — you can touch, play, and experiment while learning about fascinating topics. The exhibits are diverse, from human and animal skeletons to brain science, emotions, and technology. My child especially loved the hands-on activities with screens and headphones — learning through play was so much fun! The museum is modern, clean, and well-organized. The staff are friendly, and the café on the top floor offers a fantastic view of Amsterdam. 👉 A must-visit place in the Netherlands, especially for families with curious kids!

NEMO Science Museum is an amazing experience for families! It’s fun, interactive, and full of hands-on experiments that spark curiosity in kids and adults alike. The exhibits make learning science exciting and easy to understand. The rooftop offers stunning views of Amsterdam, making it both educational and entertaining for everyone.

This place is excellent. Highly educational and entertaining. Kept the 9 year old entertained for ages. Easy to get to. Just a 10 min walk from central station. Perfect for a family day out.

Loved this museum! I went with a 1.5 and a 5 year old. Of course for the 5 year old it was absolutely fabulous, but even for the 1.5 was good. If you go with tounger kids try to dedicate more time to the first 2 floors. 3rd and 4th floors are not great for little children. We brought lunch from home although there is a cafeteria on the top floor. Lockers and a place to park strollers at the entrance.

Visited in May 2025, and the museum was quite busy. The view from the top was decent, though not particularly impressive. Overall, I enjoyed the visit, but I’d say it’s primarily geared toward families with children rather than adults looking for a traditional museum experience. It’s fun and interactive, but not a place for in-depth exhibitions.

The Rijksmuseum is spacious and full of variety—you can easily spend two hours or more exploring. Of course, the famous paintings, especially those by Rembrandt, are breathtaking. But beyond that, we enjoyed discovering other exhibits too: delicate porcelain, shipbuilding models, and historical artifacts that tell stories beyond the canvas. We arrived early, which helped—it was fairly quiet at first. But the museum filled up quickly and became quite crowded in some areas. The café is lovely and offers a peaceful break. Unfortunately, The Night Watch is currently under restoration, but even so, it remains a powerful and moving centerpiece. Visiting the Rijksmuseum is a beautiful experience—perfect for art lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking cultural depth and inspiration.

One of the world’s great art museums. The collection is wonderful. The Rembrandts take center stage, but there is much more. Moreover, the exhibition spaces are scaled to enhance viewing and offer patrons opportunities to spend time with the works, up close. The Rijksmuseum gives you a chance to lean in close to a Rembrandt, Vermeer, or Van Gogh and explore brush strokes, use of light and other aspects of the work.

As usual a very Dutch experience. Everything clean and straightforward made my visit complete. I spent about 3 hours there on a rainy afternoon. I just did several guided tours using the app. It's very helpful if your knowledge of art is limited. The museum is not too big if you've been to say the Louvre. Directions are super clear so you don't waste time inside. There's some activities for children and places to rest as well. Lots of stairs but elevators available of course. Overal great experience.

Stunning setting on par with the Louvre; goldmine of Dutch Masters but also extensive collections of porcelain, china, silverware, jewelry, firearms, nautical models and other items. Large, open atrium and other common areas with ample access to washrooms, lifts and stairwells. App (IOS and Android) loads easily and allows access to thematic and custom tours. BRING ear buds, although you can listen via your phone’s speaker. Audio device is only €6.50 each. Cafeteria fills by mid-day with lineup; we grabbed coffee / tea and a brownie for two at the smaller cafe. Cons: App and general signage could be better at orienting visitors: it took a while to find the Great Hall. Many exhibits are dimly lit; I know this protects paintings/fabric/etc, but many other international museums have more ample lighting. Maybe illuminate the text descriptions separately? Given that explanatory panels are often mounted within 50cm of the floor, deciphering them can pose a challenge. Even saw quite young folks having to squint. Strongly advise staff to engage an Optometrist to assist in this. Sum: certainly a “must see”, with a complete visit likely requiring 3+ hrs. Staff very helpful, and roving throughout the museum. Buy tickets from the official site beforehand (or via QR on site), and avail yourself of the (included) coat-check.

Visiting the Rijksmuseum with our group from Poland was an unforgettable experience — a perfect blend of world-class art, impeccable organisation, and warm hospitality. From the very first email exchange, communication with the museum was outstanding. Every question was answered promptly and professionally, which made the entire booking process smooth and stress-free. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a friendly and highly efficient member of staff who personally took care of our group. The check-in process for group tickets was quick and perfectly coordinated, allowing us to start our visit without any unnecessary delays — something every tour leader truly appreciates. As a tour leader from Poland, I also had the pleasure of speaking briefly with members of the management team. Their passion for art and genuine commitment to creating a welcoming experience for international visitors left a lasting impression. It’s clear that the Rijksmuseum takes great pride not only in its remarkable collection but also in the way it treats its guests. The museum itself is, of course, breathtaking — every gallery tells a story, and masterpieces by Rembrandt and Vermeer never fail to captivate. But what truly stood out was the level of care and professionalism at every stage of our visit. would confidently rate our experience as exceptional. The Rijksmuseum is not just a must-see attraction in Amsterdam — it’s a model of cultural excellence and hospitality. I’ll certainly recommend it to all future groups I lead.

Buy tickets outside at a little portable booth in front of the overpass. Watch out for FAST💨 BIKES!!! The famous Night Watchman by Rembrandt is under serious restoration and is partially blocked due to scaffolding. This painting is on the second floor, the 1700s. Later work by Van Gogh is on the 1st floor exhibited. We also ate lunch in the museum cafeteria and the food was super fast and fresh! The chicken salad and the buffalo mozzarella salad were excellent!!

The Rijksmuseum is an incredible place to explore Dutch art and history. The collection is world-class from Rembrandt’s The Night Watch to Vermeer’s The Milkmaid, every gallery feels like a walk through time. The building itself is stunning, and the layout makes it easy to wander and discover something new at every turn. That said, it can get very crowded, especially on weekends. I definitely recommend buying your tickets in advance to skip the long lines and secure your preferred time slot. Once inside, take your time there’s so much to see that it’s worth spending a few hours here. Overall, a fantastic cultural experience and a must-visit in Amsterdam, just make sure to plan ahead!

We try to visit an art museum in every city we visit and this was a great one! Very organized timed entry and exit. The audio tour was great and the art was obviously amazing. It was also a good size, but not so big your feet hurt by the end. :) Definitely a must see if you visit Amsterdam but buy your tickets well in advance!

The Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is an absolute must for art lovers and anyone interested in the life of this incredible painter. The museum is beautifully curated, showcasing Van Gogh’s masterpieces alongside his early works, sketches, and personal letters, which give a deep insight into his struggles and artistic journey. Walking through the galleries feels like following his life story, from his humble beginnings to his most famous and emotional paintings. The layout is modern, spacious, and easy to navigate, with helpful information provided in several languages. It can get crowded, but the experience is unforgettable and truly inspiring.

An absolutely incredible experience! Visiting the Van Gogh Museum was a highlight of my trip to Amsterdam. The collection is extraordinary, featuring the world’s largest selection of Van Gogh’s masterpieces. Each room takes you deeper into his life, his emotions, and the evolution of his unique artistic style. From the iconic Sunflowers to The Bedroom and many of his lesser-known works, every painting tells a story and invites you to linger, reflect, and truly appreciate the genius behind them. A tip for anyone planning to visit: go early! The museum can get crowded, and you’ll want plenty of quiet time to soak in the details of each painting. I found myself captivated for hours, moving slowly from one room to the next, completely immersed in the colors, textures, and emotions Van Gogh captured on canvas. The museum is beautifully organized, and the exhibits provide excellent context about his life, influences, and struggles. The combination of his art and the informative displays makes this not just a visit, but an emotional journey through one of the most brilliant artistic minds in history. If you love art, history, or simply want to experience something that stays with you long after leaving, this museum is a must-visit. I left feeling inspired, awed, and grateful for the opportunity to witness these masterpieces up close. Truly unforgettable! 🎨

Nice organised museum with planned sectional areas focusing on different aspects of the artist’s life. It will take you minimum 1 .5 hours there. We did not take the audio guide and it was fine. They have lift and accessibility options for people with restricted mobility. The Museum Store is really really good with a great variety and range of items. You are sure to pick up something from there.

• Van Gogh Museum is a great visit destination when you’re in Amsterdam. • It’s conveniently located in the heart of the city, making it easy to reach by public transport or on foot. • The museum is well-organized, with clear directions and well-curated exhibitions featuring many of Van Gogh’s legendary masterpieces. Overall, it offers an inspiring and memorable experience for art lovers.

Lovely staff, super helpful. Beautiful place to visit. Free lockers available after the main entrance before the escalators up to the exhibition space) for coats and bags (can't take backpacks or larger bags in with you. Different levels for different exhibitions, all well signposted. Level 0 has a restaurant, coffee shop and gift shop. The whole building was busy but it was easy to see everything, plenty of seats to take a break.

What an incredible experience. Whilst I've always enjoyed van Gogh's works, the way in which the museum used them to tell his story was unique, insightful and very moving. I found myself very emotional towards the end of the exhibit and it's a testament both to this giant of an artist and to the magnificent curation.

You need to buy tickets online in advance! They go on sale 6 weeks prior to your date of entry on Tuesdays. I forget the time but for US purchase, I had to get up at 3 am and they sold out pretty fast. It's worth it! You get timed entry so be there on time! It's a really nice facility. You enter from the street side and can use toilets before going into the museum. You'll get an audio tour in your language but in 2025 it did not talk while in the secret annex so learn about the rooms before you visit to maximize to your experience! Be sure to go see the house from the canal side too as that is the famous side! There is a small plaque on the house that says "Anne Frank Haus" or something really similar to that! Go, being in the rooms makes you appreciate that 8 people spent 22 months living in that space and helps you understand their plight with new eyes. No pictures or video allowed. Also they have some of Anne Franks writings on display after you leave the secret annex.

Visiting the Anne Frank House was one of the most powerful experiences while visiting Amsterdam. Walking through the secret annex, passing through the bookshelf doorway, and standing in those quiet, bare rooms was haunting in the most necessary way. It’s a place where history doesn’t just speak, it lingers. Photography and video aren’t allowed inside, which can feel like a frustrating limitation when you want to capture the moment. But honestly, the silence, the stillness, the weight of being present, those are things no photo could hold anyway. What stays with you is internal. The museum is popular, and for good reason. Book your date and time as soon as you know you’re going. It’s the only way to guarantee entrance, and it fills up fast. This isn’t just a museum. It’s a human story etched into tight stairwells, dim light, and the hope and horror that lived together in hiding. I left quiet, reflective, and grateful I went.

So worth the visit! BUT, make sure to purchase your tickets online way in advance. If you just walk in expecting to buy them and walk in… not going to happen. I was so sad when we got there and they said you can only buy the tickets online, which is fine. But seeing that they were sold out for over a week was disappointing. My mistake by not doing a research before. So I had to buy them from a reseller for double the price. We were able to get in, the entrance is not from the front of the building, you have to walk around. Incredible experience, they ask not to take pictures so I respected that. You can find some from other reviewers, I just didn’t wanna be that person…. They have these device where you can hear the tour in different languages. The entrance is by group times, so definitely plan ahead.

It is a beautiful experience. I would definitely recommend it. We came from the US. I purchase my tickets the week before on a Tuesday, but highly recommended purchasing at least 2 to 3 weeks before on Tuesdays. They release the tickets. Make sure you go to the official website it is about €16 per person. It is great touchy and definitely feels like a whole different atmosphere when you’re here. It’s a messy visit if you come to Amsterdam.

Extremely valuable to understand the extreme personal suffering of the Jewish Experience in Europe. Most, if not all, of the Dutch Jewish populations was transported out to internment camps for extermination. ONLY OTTO FRANK returned alive—every other person in hiding was murdered by the Nazi regime. The house makes you feel what it was like to live for two years under this pressure, then still be discovered. Very somber and moving tour of the actual hiding spaces, with a few real remnants too. NOTE: You MUST get tickets WELL in advance! You will not get tickets the day of your visit at the museum. Also note, there are many, many tight, high wooden stairs and you need to actually jump up to the hiding places where the families lived. If you have any physical mobility issues, I do NOT recommend this experience. Also, it can be quite crowded and claustrophobic, so also avoid if you have those issues.

Very informative. Audio box gave info room by room. Rooms were not furnished. Two years in small quarters with squeaky floors very scary. No pictures allowed inside.

A great display. To see the conditions & how the family lived hiding all those years was amazing. You certainly have to book 6 weeks in advance in summer/peak season. Unfortunately no photos allowed to be taken inside the complex.

Eye Filmmuseum – Where the Building Steals the Show Sitting boldly on the banks of the IJ River, the Eye Filmmuseum is a marvel of contemporary architecture. Its striking, futuristic lines catch the light in a way that makes you stop and stare—whether you’re arriving by ferry or strolling along the waterfront. Step inside and it’s just as impressive: airy, geometric spaces flooded with natural light, each view framing the river like a moving picture. Truth be told, I spent more time admiring the architecture and interior design than I did exploring the exhibits. While the displays on film history and production are well put together—perfect for serious cinema enthusiasts—they weren’t the highlight for me. I skipped the screenings altogether, so my focus remained firmly on the building itself. The restaurant is another reason to linger: a relaxed spot with floor-to-ceiling views over the water, ideal for coffee, lunch, or simply watching boats drift by. If you come to the Eye Filmmuseum, you might just find, as I did, that the structure itself is the real masterpiece on display.

A very beautiful futuristic building located on the main canal of Amsterdam, right across from Central Station (Amsterdam Centraal). The modern architecture and panoramic waterfront view make it truly impressive. You can enter for free. Inside there is a nice café with a stunning view, free Wi-Fi, clean restrooms, a museum, a cinema, and relaxing sitting areas. You can also listen to free audiobooks in different languages, which adds to the cozy and cultural atmosphere. 💡 A perfect place for everyone — have a coffee, enjoy the view, relax, or explore the exhibitions.

It was pretty cool, especially the one room where you can “throw” or “catch” concepts from the film wall. A few fun activities in the permanent exhibit although the exhibit was a bit small. There was a temporary exhibit that was extremely artsy and to me a bit creepy but to someone who really appreciates the art of film I think they’d like it. The architecture of the building itself is magnificent.

The museum is architecturally beautiful, and it’s a lot of fun to take the ferry across and enjoy both the exterior and interior of the building. It’s compact, easy to explore, and has a decent permanent collection. What really stood out during our visit was the temporary exhibition dedicated to Tilda Swinton — a real highlight, especially for fans of her incredible talent. There’s also a nice café with beautiful canal and Amsterdam skyline views, perfect for a short break. The ticket price isn’t cheap (21 eur) but overall it felt worth it for the experience.

The Eye Film Museum in Amsterdam-Noord is a cinematic delight, perched like a futuristic spaceship along the IJ River. A free, three-minute ferry ride from Central Station whisks you to this architectural gem, where film history meets playful interactivity. The Panorama exhibition dives into cinema’s evolution with hands-on fun—think Green Screen, where you star in your own flick, or cozy Movie Pods for curated classics. The 360° projection room dazzles with iconic clips, though spotty English translations might trip up international visitors. Four sleek cinemas screen arthouse treasures and restored gems, no ads to ruin the mood, just don’t be late. The bar-restaurant pairs tasty, if pricey, bites with killer river views, perfect for sipping coffee while boats drift by. The gift shop’s quirky film merch beats generic souvenirs. At €15 (free for kids and I amsterdam card holders), it’s a solid deal, but the compact size may leave some craving a longer runtime. Staff can be hit-or-miss, yet the ferry ride, interactive exhibits, and waterfront charm make it a must for film buffs or anyone seeking a cultured Amsterdam detour. A smooth, lively escape, just don’t expect a Hollywood epic’s sprawl.

Love visiting The Eye film museum. There is always an interesting exhibition to check out, a nice gift shop full of film-related books, cards etc, and of course you can go watch a movie. Not to mention their café with good drinks and snacks. A (free) boat ride from Amsterdam central station, perfectly located on the river IJ overlooking the city centre

easy access from the central station. permanent exhibition is small but entertaining, even for a younger audience. Restaurant has a great view on the city and the water.

It’s a beautiful and historic church that is the oldest in Amsterdam. There was no line to enter and I only saw a few other people while I was there. I was most impressed by the organ and ceiling decoration. There is also some nice artwork on the walls. You really get a sense of the history of the place by noticing all the important people buried beneath the ground you walk on. I definitely recommend seeing this important place in the history of Amsterdam.

Very glad we went! Big, old, beautiful structure that has had a tumultuous religious history and which is now used for concerts due to its voluminous acoustics. You can see where some defaced catholic paintings have been reaurfaced and restored. And, most of the floor tiles are grave markers for those buried inside the church! What a fascinating place right in the heart of the Red Light District!

This is the most rip off church I’ve ever visited. The church charged €13.5/pp entrance fee but it’s really disappointing what you see inside, it’s just not worth it. You’ll get to see other more beautiful and spectacular churches nearby regions (Antwerp, Ghent etc) at a much cheaper fee or even free entrance, for instance : 1. Sint-Lauren’s Church in Rotterdam:€4 2. Delft- Oude Kerk and Nieuwe Kerk:€9.5 for both churches, 3. Sint-Bavo’s Cathedral in Ghent : € free 4. Saint-Nicholas in Ghent: €free 5. Cathedral of Our Lady in Antwerp: €12 , this is probably one of the most beautiful church I ever visited.

Such a special, one-of-a-kind experience. The city’s oldest surviving building (13th century) with a great self-guided audio tour and rotating art installations that keep it fresh and inspiring. My sister and I were spooked when we realized we were walking on gravestones, so we tried to hop around to not do so… and then realized the entire floor is gravestones. 😅 The space is stunning — breathing in there feels sacred and otherworldy. I didn’t get to do the tower tour which was a bummer, so check the dates available, but I’ll definitely be back. *Visited in July on Monday, no wait times — and don’t miss the cozy café right next door!

The most ancient building in this incredible city. A severe, exquisite Protestant Church. Here lies beautiful Saskia, Rembrandt’s wife, model & Muse.

An old church where many were buried. You can see from the engraving on the tile floor. It is also renowned for the organ in the church. Several paintings on the ceiling can be seen as they are the testimony of itself was once a catholic church.

Really beautiful part of Amsterdam history. The hand painted wallpaper, especially it’s beautiful. And all the significant headstones including Rembrandt‘s first wife.

If you need to use WC, it is located on the platform. We approach info counter to get an entry pass.

Very nice architecture and lots of shops inside , also you have a free ferry that can take you to the other side

If you're British, expect to be annoyed by poor queue management. If you're not British, expect to hear people complain very loudly about inequitous queuing. Forget the war in Russia or the conflict in Gaza, the real issue that matters and the real measure of a nation's people is whether they can form an orderly queue without assistance. Ironically said couple subsequently pushed in front of me. I've never been to a Central Railway Station of a capital city before that doesn't have some kind of 24 hour convenience store/supermarket. I guess there's a first for everything!!

This is a beautiful station with access to busses, trains, trams and ferries. The food and drinks are near the side with the water. It is pretty easy to navigate the area.

On time trains, easy to find the platforms. Travellers can purchase lockers to keep their stuff in the station for a daily rate. Clean and tidy. The architecture is wonderful .

Exit barriers don't recognise tickets issued by other companies or after certain hours, but the state-of-the-art Dutch rail integrated with IoT everywhere is unable to resolve it despite the highest fees in Europe.

Beautiful building with places where you can drink coffee, do shopping and tourist places. Crossing the canal with the ferryboat is free. WC costs 0.50 euros.

This is a beautiful palace and a must see. The artwork is amazing. I only wish we could have seen more of it. Since its still being used today you only get a little taste. You'll need a few hours to tour through. Get your tickets in advance.

Beautiful art! Astounding craftsmanship! Overall wonderful experience except for demonstrations having sprayed red paint on the outside windows and walls. We thought our tour was canceled but we entered through another entrance on the other side.

My visit to the Royal Palace in Amsterdam was a truly special experience! The palace is stunning inside and reflects history and elegance in every corner. The interior design is magnificent, and the information provided during the tour was both useful and fascinating. I highly recommend visiting it to discover a beautiful part of Dutch history.

The place was massive, well maintained well and beautiful. The view from every angle are unique and bring my imagination to how they live few centuries ago. Saddly didn't have time and stamina to walk and explore all corners of it. Definitely worth a visit on beautiful day.

I took a private tour through Viator of the palace. The sculptures are among the best in the world. The symbolism in each piece is astounding. The rooms are beautiful, and every step you take is heavy with history.

Magnificent statues, gorgeous rooms. Very interesting and full audio guide with extra videos included that explain the meaning of some of the most significant master pieces.

Beautiful building and furnishings and loved the artwork and sculptures. Entry fairly reasonable too with free audio guide and directs your visit. We got there before lunch, spent a bit over an hour, was a long line to get in as we were exiting.

Bought our tix on Viator which included entry and €20 deposit per person for the restaurant - better deal than buying direct. We had the set menu which was delicious and reasonable given the restaurant was quite nice and rotates. Really nice views and we went upstairs before dessert to do the swing. Staff were flexible and accomodating for us to do that mid meal. Really nice romantic date place!

The waiter poured my drink into my glass, but I found out later (without taking a sip) that the glass was broken. I mentioned it to the waiter and he emptied the glass and gave me a new not broken glass. When I mentioned where my drink was, he said “oh I thought you didn’t want it anymore”. What??? Other than this rough start, the service from the rest of the personele was very good, the food was good and the view was exceptional. Very fun concept of the 360 view and fun to go once!

What a magical and beautiful experience. Our waiter was also a trained wine expert and paired some really delicious wines with our meal. Incredible views as well

What a experience the restaurant spins around slowly giving you a 360 view of the city. Me and the wife went when it was dark the views where amazing. Now the food WOW the FLAVORS were AMAZING. 4 course meal and we ordered different meals to try everything it was so delicious. I would highly recommend. Very romantic.

Loved everything and the very attentive staff. Excellent food. Couldn’t eat all dessert but wanted to! Especially love the octopus and short ribs. (Shared w companion!). Desserts wonderful but no room!)

Went for the views. Would go again for the food. The food and service was exceptional. Great atmosphere and very friendly servers. Loved it . It may be obvious but people with vertigo may feel a little uncomfortable due to the height and rotation. The feeling of revolving is not subtle.

Attempts to be polished and refined but misses the mark. Servers are wearing street tennis shoes, sitting down at the table with guests, and pace of meal was terrible. The shrimp toast, one of the oysters was ok, but the rest was confusing and not particularly tasty. The ingredients and flavor combinations was very odd, like coffee beans on an oyster for example. The ribeye was incredibly thin and closer to deli meat that a steak.

Schiphol is super organized and easy to get around. Lots of dining options, clear info screens everywhere, and public transport is amazing you can catch a train right from the airport to Amsterdam and other cities. Security is quick (you can even book in advance), usually less than 15 minutes. Even though it doesn’t feel huge, it’s still one of the busiest airports in the world. Overall, really smooth and convenient to travel through!

Small to mid size airport but very efficient and staff members were friendly and welcoming 🙏 thanks a lot for the kind and make us feel a great welcoming experience. Immigration Service was very friendly and bag services came within reasonable times. Train station located very conveniently under the airport basement. Also purchasing tickets was user friendly. Only feedback the announcement could make English version too. Thanks ☺️

Amsterdam Schiphol Airport is the 3rd busiest airport in Europe. It’s located about 9 miles from city centre. It’s a huge airport with only one terminal and there departure halls. It’s very well maintained with clear signs for the comfort of passengers. It’s the base for Dutch airliner KLM. We had a morning flight at 7 AM and till then no business lounges had opened. We were told they open from 7 onwards.

This airport is awesome. The concourses are just the right size, great signage to get to anywhere you want to go in the airport or in the airport area, plenty of restaurants inside and outside of the airport with hotels, super convenient transportation with a train station included, and everything went smooth. All the staff at customs were very friendly and quick with their service. All the other staff were very helpful to other passengers who needed assistance. Getting a rental car from here was super easy as well. Overall, a very convenient airport to fly in and out to. Highly recommend this airport!

Amsterdam Schiphol International Airport is one of the nicest and most efficient airports I’ve traveled through. It’s spacious, clean, and very easy to navigate, even for international connections. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the entire travel experience smooth and stress-free. The KLM Lounge is also excellent, comfortable seating, great food and drink options, and plenty of space to relax before your flight. Overall, a top-tier airport that makes international travel surprisingly pleasant.

Very well maintained airport, detailed instructions everywhere. Very kind staff considering the crazy number of travelers they have to deal with everyday. The airport has excellent cellular connectivity and fairly decent wifi. While on a layover for about 6 hours or longer, you can store your hand baggage in lockers by the gate, exit the airport using the sprinter trains and explore the city. The frequency of trains is pretty high. Just make sure to give yourself sufficient time to get through security and passport control on your way back as the lines are pretty long.

I recently traveled through Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and I must say, I was impressed with the overall experience. The airport is modern, spacious, and very well-organized. From check-in to security, everything went smoothly and efficiently. The staff were friendly and professional, always willing to help when needed. What I really appreciated is the wide variety of shops, cafés, and restaurants there is something for everyone, whether you want a quick coffee or a proper meal before your flight. The signage throughout the airport is clear, making it easy to navigate, even for first-time visitors. Schiphol also has excellent transport connections to the city and beyond, which makes traveling very convenient. The atmosphere feels international, yet welcoming, and you really notice the attention to detail in terms of cleanliness and comfort. Overall, Schiphol is not just an airport, but a place where traveling feels stress-free and enjoyable. Definitely one of the best airports in Europe.

Recommended if only for the free 14 minutes each way boat ferry from Central Station why not do it on a nice day even if you don’t walk around the art gallery stuff which we didn’t see maybe inside the old factory buildings but yes on a nice day a free and fun thing to do

The art shop at the top was it for my friend and I. Here are some of my favourite exhibits we admired, when the lady that worked there kindly told us to leave because they were closed. Place has class.

I’ve always loved street art, so visiting this place was a must for me. During my tour, something special happened I met a group of artists painting a mural in memory of their friend who sadly passed away in a boat accident. They spoke with so much emotion and shared how much they miss him their graffiti was their way of keeping his memory alive.

Nice place to glimpse a different side of Amsterdam, the wharf is easily reachable from Centraal by free ferry. The ferry journey itself is beautiful too and at the wharf there are museums, restaurants and cafes and some really cool graffiti.

Totally worth a visit! The area has lots of street art from artists around the world and a vibe that’s really different from the center of Amsterdam. You can get there by a free ferry near Central Station. There are lots of cafés and restaurants around, Pllek is a great spot with a nice view and a relaxed vibe.

We attended the Bansky exhibition at NDSM what a cool venue. It was really warm on Saturday so the venue was warm as well. Very cool place though to visit. Afterwards we popped next door to the bar for a couple of drinks.

HUGE warehouse full of galleries and artists studios, I have never seen such magnitude, definitely worth he walk if you into art.

Very interesting place to visit. The flight is the best thing in the tour, it looks like real, showing fantastic places and telling amazing story about this amazing country. I recommend to book online and go there 15 minutes before your appointment. You will start with taking pictures that you need to check them out at the end of the tour in order to decide whether to pay and get them or no, for us it’s not worth because it wasn’t captured and designed accurately. Then will start the tour through 3 steps and the last one in the flight. Very good experience. Reasonable prices. Good service. I recommend.

Unforgettable 5D flying experience. We visited it as a family and totally loved it and wished it was a bit longer :) The explanation about Netherlands in the beginning was interesting and the flying experience was of course great. We especially loved the part about flying over the sea and the tulip fields. The smell of the tulips will stay with us forever :). The parking was quite pricy, which was the only downside.

Fantastic experience where all senses are put in play. That must be how flying really is. And exciting knowledge about the Netherlands and the importance of water for the country - on both good and bad. Can definitely be recommended. Absolutely fabulous I didn’t know about it. A friend who lives in New Zealand. X Dutchy said don’t miss it. I couldn’t believe nobody even mentioned it . not the travel agent. No one it is a must do! It gives you an insight into the whole history of the Netherlands in such a short time it is extremely well done Extremely well priced. it’s a free ferry ride across the water by the train station. We had lunch at the big building next to it which was fabulous but I honestly feel it’s a must do before you do anything else in Amsterdam. I am 68. It’s not just for kids. It’s just fabulous!

This is Holland was absolutely amazing and worth every minute! The flight experience was breathtaking — it truly feels like you’re flying over the Netherlands. The visuals are stunning, the movements perfectly synced, and the overall feeling is magical. You get to see the beauty of Holland from a completely new perspective — from the tulip fields to the windmills and canals, everything looks incredible. The staff were extremely kind, welcoming, and professional. They made the whole visit smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Their energy really adds to the experience! It’s not just a fun attraction, it’s emotional and inspiring — you leave feeling connected to the country in a unique way. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam, whether it’s your first time or your tenth. Truly one of the highlights of our trip! ✨

You should definitely visit this place, it has three rooms: the first one shows a short video about Amsterdam, the second is about the canals and the last one is absolutely amazing ! it feels like flying over Amsterdam with a 5D screen where you can feel the wind and smell the tulips😍! highly recommended.

During our trip to Amsterdam, we visited "This is Holland," and it was a truly great experience. The attraction gives a fascinating overview of Dutch history, culture, and geography in a way that’s both educational and entertaining. The highlight for us was definitely the 5D/8D flying theater experience — it felt like we were literally flying over the Netherlands. The cinema experience was incredibly immersive. With moving seats, wind effects, scents, and panoramic visuals, it gave us the sensation of soaring above tulip fields, windmills, canals, and coastlines. It’s a short ride, but very powerful and impressive. Everyone in our group loved it and talked about it afterward. Before the flight, there are a couple of brief but interesting presentations about the history and development of the Netherlands, including how much of the land was reclaimed from the sea. The storytelling is clear and accessible, and the staff were very welcoming. The attraction is well-organized, clean, and suitable for all ages. It’s a great activity to do with friends or family, especially on a rainy day. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam who wants to understand more about the country in a fun and unforgettable way.

If you’ve missed the tulip season, are caught in bad weather, or simply don’t have enough time to visit all the stunning sights of the Netherlands, This is Holland is the next best thing! It offers a fantastic way to experience the country's natural beauty, iconic architecture, and rich history, all in under an hour. The attraction kicks off with two educational pre-flight films, giving you a crash course in Dutch history and its number of (UNESCO Heritage) sites and monuments. Then, you’re treated to a spectacular 5D flight simulation that takes you soaring over the stunning landscapes, offering an immersive experience that feels almost as real as actually being there. Even as a local, I was genuinely impressed by how well this attraction showcases the best of the Netherlands. I’ve recommended it to foreign visitors, and they’ve all told me it was one of the highlights of their trip! I do have a couple of suggestions: First, the flight simulation, though spectacular, could have been a bit longer and featured a few more iconic Dutch sights. It felt like there was so much more to see. Additionally, it would have been nice if the pre-flight film had been also available in English rather than just subtitled. Having to read the subtitles can sometimes pull your attention away from the beautiful imagery, so an audio option would definitely enhance the experience. Finally: a special shoutout to Operations Manager, Ruan van der Westhuizen. His hospitality and thoughtful personal attention truly made our visit unforgettable!

7 stories of an amazing library and building. Now, we were just visiting tourists so we were not checking out books or using library services. I'm a lover of books and public libraries so to visit one in another country is a must do and this one specifically is beyond cool. 7 stories, gender neutral bathrooms, located right on the heart of town, ams a cafe with views. Had up to the 7th floor and grab a beverage or smash from the café and find a patio table overlooking the water... amazing

What a gem in the heart of the city! Having such a spacious and beautifully designed public library right in the city centre feels like a true gift to the community. Whether you're diving into deep study sessions or simply looking for a peaceful spot to unwind, this place has it all. The atmosphere is calm and inspiring, and the view from the 7th floor? Absolutely worth the elevator ride – a stunning panorama of the city skyline. I could easily spend an entire day here and still want to come back for more.

A vast contemporary building which is home to the beautiful public library. Split over many floors, which stage different sections of books, exhibits etc. A visual work of art to hold the written word. Well worth a visit whilst in Amsterdam.

Brautiful library with 7 floors. Plenty of space to seat or read a book enjoying a view from Amsterdam. Cafeteria on the ground floor and restaurant/cafeteria with nice view on the last floor. Kids section is very nice and spacious. There are some kids books in other languages, but I missed in portuguese ;)

This is a beautiful library with a café inside. The space is calm and pleasant, and the view is really nice. It’s a great place to relax, read, or enjoy a cup of coffee.

A very modern library offering 7 floors of literature and a cafe on the 7th floor which has an outside seating area to take in the view of the Amsterdam city skyline. We had lunch there and enjoyed the food and the view! Bonus round we found "Nemo" as well.

The OBA library is a must-visit in Amsterdam! It has a beautiful view over the city, and the café offers really good food too. Definitely worth stopping by!

The church is open daily only for a limited time. It is quite beautiful outside and the bell rings every half an hour. It's right next door to the Anne Frank house and on a lovely plaza commemorating victims of gender orientation prejudice. Being the church where royal weddings take place and the initial resting place of Rembrand, we were eager to visit, pleasantly surprised by the opportunity for an organ concert, plus the instrument was restored a few years back. We went for the Wednesday lunch organ concert, but were a bit late and found the door was locked for the entire concert duration. Once it opened, I observed the faces of all attendees - none appeared touched by the performance, perhaps the divine emotion was replaced by the profane donations that followed it. Donations are compulsory and the House of God feels so commercialised with the souvenir stand inside the church and the hot drinks machine facing the altar - right in the middle of the presumably quiet area for private conversations with God and for contemplating. The church is renting commercial space outside and has enough room in its lobby for a shop at the entrance. So sad and disappointing.

Westerkerk towers gracefully over the Jordaan district and is one of Amsterdam’s most striking landmarks. I didn’t enter, but even from the outside, the tall windows, the detailed brickwork, and the iconic spire topped with the Imperial Crown of Austria make it worth pausing for. The church’s proximity to the Anne Frank House gives the whole area a deeper emotional gravity. A beautiful piece of Dutch Renaissance architecture that anchors the skyline.

Westerkerk is one of those landmarks that quietly commands attention even if you never step inside. I didn’t get the chance to go in during this visit, but from the outside alone, it’s breathtaking. The tower rises proudly above the canal-side rooftops, and the graceful Renaissance design feels timeless against the backdrop of Amsterdam’s ever-busy streets. I was also pleasantly surprised to see a rainbow flag hung on the tower—a thoughtful, beautiful gesture that felt in tune with the city’s spirit of openness and inclusivity. It made the church feel not just historic, but very much alive in the present day. Knowing its historical significance—especially its ties to Rembrandt and its proximity to the Anne Frank House—makes the church even more poignant. I found myself lingering longer than expected, just admiring the way the sunlight played on the stone façade and how the bells added to the atmosphere. This time, I only admired from the outside, but next time, Westerkerk is firmly on my list to explore within. A beautiful piece of Amsterdam, inside and out.

The plaza near the Anne Frank House gets packed, so timing matters if you want a calm look. Worth a quick stop if you’re nearby, though it wouldn’t top my Amsterdam list.

There's a very short window of time where you can go inside. You can go up the tower, but I was told the view was so-so. We barely missed out. Its right next to the Anne Frank House and the Anne Frank monument. It towers over the rest of Amsterdam and immediately catches your eye. Next time.

I was at Reestraat when I took these sunset pictures of Westerkerk. This church with a tall spire was built in the early 17th century.

The church, designed by Hendrick de Keyser, was built between 1620 and 1631 in the Dutch Renaissance style. Its 85-meter Westertoren is the tallest church tower in Amsterdam and a defining feature of the city’s skyline. The church is also known as the final resting place of Rembrandt van Rijn, who was buried here in 1669.

The place offers outside seating with a great view. The atmosphere is great and the staff is kind. We ordered the vegetables pizza which is okay, but the pasta was good. The espresso martini was great! The cocktails are worth trying.

Pasta is freshly made to order and it’s delicious. The pizza called Pastel pizza was epic. The truffle oil and buffalo cheese was so good. The pasta Carbonara was excellent. The canal nearby is under construction right now, which means that it may be less busy than usual, but the service was great and the food is divine. As an added bonus just above the doors of the restaurant a cat lives and it is pretty adorable.

Today we had lunch there. Tosti for my son, spaghetti with gamba's for my wife and I had Ossobuco with spaghetti. The food was prepared with fresh ingredients and it tasted delicious. The service was very friendly and fast. We certainly will return here when I am back in Amsterdam.

Unfortunately, these fries weren’t quite to my taste. They were very thick, lacked salt, and felt quite plain overall. At €7 for a small portion, with additional charges for basic sauces like ketchup or mayonnaise, the pricing felt steep for what was offered. The outlet is right on the main road, which is a plus. The ambience looked nice and welcoming, but the overall experience didn’t quite match the expectations. Not a bad spot, but there might be better options nearby.

Delicious, perfectly made pizza I walked past and saw diners eating the pizza and it looked great enough to try. The atmosphere is lacking in the interior elements but the staff makes up for it.They staff could not be more inviting and attentive. Perfect first night in Amsterdam

It was pretty good, the prices were alright. I would add less cheese, but that’s just my preference🧀 The waiters were very nice and helpful☺️

The place is on a corner of a building with view towards the water. Inside the aspect is pretty old but you feel welcomed. The food is good if you take sandwiches or burgers. I had pasta (tortellini) and they were awful. But the burger my boyfriend took was the tastier I had in all Amsterdam. And I tried a few. The service was fine, we had a waitress from our country so we spoke our native language. For drinks I had a non-alcoholic cocktail. Very sweet. Is a nice place, but I would stick to burgers😂

Great place for an outdoor drink when the sun is shining! Very large garden area with seats and parasols. Order from your table and the service is very efficient. Great views across the water and plenty of people watching. You can access it very easily from the ferry which runs continuously and is free! Had a very enjoyable evening here.

The food and ambiance here is very nice! Had a great night and tried some interesting things. But the staff were talking very nasty about people. We sat next to the place where the servers were standing, and they were all the time talking about how weird people were or deciding with rock paper scissors who would have to go to the table with the “weird” people. So it was a very bad experience on that part.

The “nachos” dish on the menu unfortunately didn’t match what you’d expect. It was just a few plain tortilla chips served without cheese, sauce, or any toppings. That’s a bit disappointing, as this shouldn’t really be sold under the name “nachos.” The rest of the experience and service were okay, but it might be better to list this dish as “tortilla chips” instead, so expectations are clear. The location is nice.

Restaurant is located at a very good spot: opposite Amsterdam Central Station, facing IJ/ships movement, very nice and spacious terrace but inside it's cosy and comfortable too. Nice, fast and helpful staff. Good food, lots of vegan and vegetarian options that cost less than the animal options. We had a great time at a fair price and will definitely be back!

Very disappointed in the loaded nachos. Too wet. Guacamole was creamy and abundant but no flavor. A glob of melted cheese was unappetizing. The salsa was sweet. Ugh. Consider a recipe that has more appeal. They were really the worst nachos I’ve ever had. Even hot sauce on the side (which wasn’t offered) would not have rescued these slimy nachos.

Truly exceptional. The assistance i received in order to have a good concert experience was incredible. Bravo

Atmosphere is definitely unique : spacious restaurant area in intimate lighting, plants wall ; outdoor seating relax and more of a sunny sunday feeling ; bar is cosy and classy, with area for live music. There is an elevator to access the restaurant (otherwise main door is reachable by outside stairs)

My new favourite spot every time I will go back to the city. Never been before in 5 times of visiting and will always make sure I go back now. They got a volcano, and a heat press you are welcome to use. And their menu is also top shelf, including all your favourite Cali buds; TENCO/wizard tree/calix etc. their customer service was pretty welcoming all round. But can only give 4 stars for not sorting out their door thing. I bet that's been an issue for years now, and I'm surprised not one stoner hasn't managed to think and actually fix it between all the staff and how annoyed they get daily!

5,0 🟡🟡🟡🟡🟡 Top-Budtender, Top Weed, I will come back. Jus D'orange 10/10, strong "The budtender said its more clementine, I would say like orange-juice from concentrate. Very nice smoke, strong sativa" Spumoni 10/10, strong "Very sweet strain, that can hold the promise of italian-dessert: nuts, cream and sweeteness.." Traditional Cookies 10/10, Very strong "This one is nice: Cookies was crossed from og Kush and durban poison..and you literally get both. On the one side the earthiness from the Og, but also the sweetness from the durban..not to forget to mention the note of bitter-chocolate-chunks.."

Nice vibe, small and cozy place. Love it and I think it has a good spot.

Great selection, dabs too which most others don’t!! Friendly staff and nice central location. Also the do a really nice mint tea which goes down well if it’s cold outside ☝️😎💚

Nicest member of staff we met so far ! Can’t smoke the tobacco joints inside which they told us l. Very knowledgable

Great weed , great coffee great people Nice early morning afternoon smoke

Awesome place - cool people - very goooood music

Dam Square – Amsterdam’s Grand Stage for… Whatever Happens to Show Up If city squares were like fashion runways, Dam Square would be the model who forgot to put on any accessories. Smack in the middle of Amsterdam, it’s a vast open space that could have been spectacular with a few art installations, some imaginative landscaping, maybe even a quirky sculpture or two. Instead, it’s just… open. And empty. Well, not empty-empty—during my stay, it was generously decorated with garbage, strange smells (some unmistakably herbal), and a rotating cast of loiterers who clearly weren’t there to admire Dutch history. More than once, I got the same uneasy feeling other reviewers have mentioned. The city council might want to give this prime real estate a little TLC before it ends up as the cautionary tale in every travel guide. To be fair, there were street performers—some genuinely talented, others clearly using the term “performer” in the loosest possible sense—and they managed to draw in decent crowds. Just remember that “crowd” in any major European square is also shorthand for “pickpocket opportunity,” so keep your wits (and your wallet) about you. Then came Pride week, and the whole square transformed into a high-security fortress. Access was controlled by stern-looking guards who, in my personal experience, were a little too eager with their hands when inspecting bags. Let’s just say that in most professional events, a scanner or detector would suffice, rather than an unsolicited archaeological dig through every zipper and compartment. Not the square’s fault, of course—but a reminder that this central spot could benefit from better, more thoughtful management year-round. Dam Square has potential. It could be iconic. Instead, it’s mostly a blank canvas that, too often, paints itself with the wrong colours.

The square is the historic heart of Amsterdam and the origin of the city’s name. It was named after the dam built across the Amstel River in the late 13th century. This dam led to the formation of a settlement that eventually became known as Amsterdam, combining "Amstel" and "dam" into a single name. Since the Middle Ages, the square has served as the city's civic center — hosting the town hall, market, public executions, and religious events. Today, it remains a symbolic focal point, home to landmarks such as the Royal Palace and the National Monument.

Dam Square is absolutely breathtaking—massive, vibrant, and full of life. The architecture and open space are beautiful, and it’s surrounded by great views, food vendors, and tons of shopping options just steps away. It’s the perfect spot to take in the energy of Amsterdam, people-watch, and grab a bite while exploring the city. A must-visit!

Beautiful place. No wonder it is called the bustling heart of Amsterdam. The historical landmarks around it such as the Royal Palace and the National Monument are all very spectacular. Dam Square is a transport hub and a busy shopping area. We learned from our guide that important national events are often held there. There was a sizable crowd there when we visited the place. The Square is a magnificent sight at night.

Dam Square pulses with movement, locals, tourists, trams, pigeons. It’s the literal and symbolic heart of Amsterdam, framed by grand architecture like the Royal Palace, which began as the city hall in the 17th century, built atop over 13,000 wooden piles. The National Monument anchors the other side, solemn and striking. Crowds linger, performers drift through, and the energy feels constant but not chaotic. Even with all the bustle, there's room to pause and look up.

Iconic first view when you roll out of the station, a wall of leaning canal houses with glittering water made for photos. Packed with tourists and energy, and I am here for it too 😄. Great place to grab a coffee, people watch, watch boats slide by, and snag the classic skyline shot.

Dam Square is the vibrant heart of Amsterdam, surrounded by historic buildings, shops, and cafes. It’s always lively with street performers, markets, and tourists. The Royal Palace and the National Monument add a rich historical feel to the bustling atmosphere. A great place to soak up the city’s energy and culture.

This is place is the real deal. No where else that I know of you can get fresh, authentic, homemade pasta and for as little as 15 euros. Maribela, chef and owner, has worked in Michelin restaurants in Italy and her passion and knowledge is only matched by her warmth and kindness. I've been to this restaurant 4 or 5 times and I make it a point to visit every time I'm in Amsterdam.

Saw a rat while eating here, coming out of the wall. I was in shock. Plus, their carbonara was too salty for my taste. Maybe it was cause I was the last customer. The ambience isn’t as great because you could hear everything in the kitchen. The only good thing I could say is that the server was nice and the wine was ample.

Me and my family came here every day on our trip to Amsterdam and were blown away by the amazing food, atmosphere and welcoming staff. I had a different crepe each day and found the flavours incredible, the ice cream in the sweet crepes was the cherry on top. The service was quick and the atmosphere was beautiful with stunning paintings on the walls. The first time we came here, we knew it was going to be our daily brunch spot.

I came here around 5pm and as a Dutchie myself I wanted a quick dinner. The carbonara was really nice! Lots of pepper which I like. I was the only guest at that moment and I think that that was the reason the service was slow (my opinion). However, I think when it's busy they will do a great job.

5 star experience. Absolutely delicious pizza and carbonara. Some of the best we have ever tried. Very high quality and flavourful. Friendly, polite, positive staff. Happy to help. They advised their English was limited but there was no language barrier and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommend. Great value for money. Comfortable environment and great atmosphere.

I was visiting the flower market and found this lovely place where they sell this mulled wine. It was fantastically delicious, fruity and very well balanced. My friend was delighted with the hot chocolate with cream.

Awesome food! Loved the pizza I ate

Henk’s Herring is a charming spot with an Instagram-worthy location—right by a picturesque bridge offering beautiful views. The herring itself is decent, though it has quite a few bones. However, the friendly staff and stunning setting make it worth a visit for both the taste and the atmosphere!

This was my first Herring, and it was delicious. I even bought it for the second time. They serve you with a cute mini Dutch flag. Since it besides those Amsterdam canals which beautiful flowers hanging around, you get a chance for insta worthy pictures.

Friendly staff- can speak fluent english. Affordable and delicious dutch delicacy. Sandwich only cost 3.5-4 euros.

fresh and good quality herring fish, Price a bit high compare to other areas, But if you are planning to visit Netherlands you must eat fresh herring

Best Haring in Amsterdam ,Amazing test ,Quality and the Sandwich was 3 euros only

A wonderful herring plate and sandwich place. Situated on top of a bridge spanning one of Amsterdam's beautiful canals.

Cheap and delicious herring and they accept cash

Exemplary service. Good cocktails. Lovely view of sunset. Decent, well prepared unpretentious food.

The place is okay but little more. Mostly food is disappointing for the price you pay. Service staff is friendly and professional. View is also quite good. Foods just not up to scratch.

It’s a hotel bar/restaurant on the top of Mercury Hotel near Sloterdijk station. We didn’t stay in the hotel, but just visited the bar for a drink. Good place for a quick drink & snack with a view. I see some people posting pictures and reviews of wrong place (Sky Lounge in Hilton near Amsterdam Centraal, not Mercure hotel in Sloterdijk). Be aware that there’s no terrace seating or view of historical buildings here. The view here is of rather industrial area in the west of Sloterdijk with a many windmills…but it looks kind a cool especially at the time of sunset on a sunny day.

A good bar and restaurant with a convenient location and a nice view. I'm very positively impressed by the exceptional service provided by Elena at the bar/restaurant. From the moment we entered, she made us feel welcomed and throughout the evening she demonstrated a perfect balance of attentiveness and professionalism. A great experience.

I went to the restaurant with my family to watch a Euro match and we were told that all tables close to the tv were reserved. To our surprise, by the end of the game at 11pm, no one, not one table was occupied…. Regrettable! On top of everything, the attention from the waitress was abismal. Very negative attitude, treated us like we were asking for a favor and just absolute lack of service oriented attitude. A shame, as the location and food were good.

Amazing panoramic view of Amsterdam! Enjoy a very nice coffee in the morning or a very good cocktail at night !!!

Meh. Food and service could be better. Was good for coffee in the morning, and has a really nice atmosphere for a drink in the evening. The view is really nice. If I were on a more relaxed trip, I would have just stayed here in the evening and had a few drinks.
