Molen de Otter

De Otter, built in 1631, is the last remaining sawmill in Amsterdam. Once part of a group of 12, the mill survived several demolitions and economic downturns. After restoration in 1994-1996, the mill became a popular tourist attraction and educational monument.

Radio Radio

On the iconic Westergasterrain you'll find Radio Radio, an intimate club and radio station which combines a passion for music, delicious bites and a laidback atmosphere. Known for its carefully curated DJ performances and friendly environment, Radio Radio has quickly become a favourite among music fans looking for a cosy alternative to some of the city's bigger nightlife venues.

Toekomstmuziek

There was the idea of simply starting somewhere with the hope that a community of both music lovers and musicians would emerge and grow. It is fantastic to see that it has really grown! Music is so important for everyone, emotionally, and being able to see, feel and hear it live is an enriching experience.
