A'DAM Lookout, the roof of Amsterdam

In the north of Amsterdam, the A'DAM Tower blends perfectly into the landscape of the Overhoeks district. This former industrial area has been transformed over the past decade into a spectacular and futuristic neighbourhood that is leading the Netherlands into the 21st century. The 80-metre high tower was built in the early 1970s as the Dutch headquarters of the Shell Group, but has also been renovated and, with the opening of the A'DAM Lookout in 2016, has quickly become a must-see attraction in Amsterdam.

The A'DAM Lookout is a 100-metre-high observation platform at the top of the A'DAM Tower, offering a breathtaking view of Amsterdam. But first the lift, which takes you to the 20th floor of the tower in just 20 seconds, is an experience in itself, with its light and sound effects and glass ceiling. From above, you can see the colourful houses of the historic centre, the boats coming and going through the harbour and canals, and the marshes of the Dutch countryside. You can download a free audio guide to learn more about the landmarks on the skyline and the history of Amsterdam. Interactive binoculars are also available.

The A'DAM Lookout is not only a viewing platform, but also a meeting place for thrill-seekers who come to test themselves on the highest swing in Europe. 100 metres above the void, with the rooftops of Amsterdam at your feet, the view is breathtaking and the adrenaline is through the roof. For something less impressive but just as fun, strap on a virtual reality headset and take a rollercoaster ride through the city and its iconic sights. After the thrill of the ride, relax with a cocktail on the rooftop or dine in the panoramic Moon Restaurant, which rotates to take in every corner of the landscape.
