Attractions and sights

Attractions

Coptic Orthodox Church (Heilige Maagd Maria Kerk)

The Dutch Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates the holy Eucharist every Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. A large part of the service is sung, according to Coptic rites and melodies (in Dutch).

GASSAN Dam Square

Located opposite the Royal Palace of Amsterdam in the heart of the city, GASSAN Dam Square is the perfect place to shop for a brilliant gift for yourself or someone special this holiday season. With an extensive range of loose polished diamonds, exclusive jewellery and watches, it’s a true shopper’s paradise.

Magere Brug

Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge)

One of Amsterdam’s many bridges is the beautiful Magere Brug, known to English speakers at the Skinny Bridge. This wooden drawbridge was once so narrow that it was hard for two pedestrians to pass each other. To cope with increasing traffic on the Amstel, a wider bridge replaced the narrow original in 1871.

De Torensluis

The Torensluis

The Torensluis (tower lock) looks like an excessively wide bridge over the Singel. The reason for such a spacious set-up was the Jan Roodenpoortstoren (tower) which stood here until 1829. The prisons under the tower were recently restored and are now open to the public. They are also used to host exhibitions and events literally underground.

Fietsflat

Bicycle flat

Since 2001, Stationsplein at Amsterdam's Central Station boasts the world's first bicycle flat. The building has room for 2500 bicycles, and the top level offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area.

Dominicuskerk

Dominicuskerk (Dominican church)

The Dominicans are a religious community that derives its inspiration from the Christian tradition. The Dominicuskerk is a religious workshop and spiritual centre for people of all denominations, be it Protestant, Catholic or non-practicing.

Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA)

Passenger Terminal Amsterdam (PTA) is the city’s official port for cruise ships. Occasionally for naval vessels arrive here as well. An eye-catching building on the IJ River, PTA welcomes about 200,000 passengers annually and also serves as an impressive event venue.

Vondelkerk

The charming Vondelkerk (Vondel Church) stands at the edge of the Vondelpark and was used as a church from 1880 to 1977. Today it houses the offices of a few small businesses. The beautiful former church space also hosts concerts and is rented out for special occasions, including weddings, formal dinners and meetings.

Willem de Zwijgerkerk

The monumental Willem de Zwijgerkerk (church) in the district of Amsterdam Zuid was built in 1930 in the “Amsterdamse School” style. The interior of this protestant church was completely restored in 1995. Besides holding religious services, the church plays an active role in the community. It is often rented out for cultural or community-related events.

Zevenlandenhuizen

The Zevenlandenhuizen (seven countries houses) on the Roemer Visscherstraat were built in 1894. As the name might imply, seven houses are lined up next to each other, with each house representing an architectural style from a different European country. The houses were designed by architect Tjeerd Kuipers and commissioned by Amsterdam philanthropist Sam van Eeghen.

Slavernijmonument

Slavernijmonument (slavery monument)

The Netherlands officially abolished slavery in the colonies of Suriname and the Dutch Antilles in July 1863. In 2002 (139 years later), Surinamese sculptor Erwin de Vries was selected to design a memorial for this dark period. The sculpture is located in the Oosterpark and is made up of three elements. The first represents slavery’s dark and dramatic history, the second represents breaking through the wall of resistance in the modern day, and the third element represents the longing for freedom and a better future.

Oosterpark

The Oosterpark is a large city park located in Amsterdam Oost. This open green space is filled with ponds and streams, a wading pool for children and plenty of walking paths. Considered Amsterdam’s most multicultural park, it draws a diverse local crowd and hosts a variety of festivals throughout the summer. There is also a 'speaker’s stone', where people speak their minds every Sunday at 13:00.

Oostvaardersplassen Nature Reserve

Between Almere and Lelystad lies the extraordinary Oostvaardersplassen nature reserve, where nature decides the rhythm of things. Life in the Oostvaardersplassen has been wonderfully captured in the film 'The New Wilderness'.

Bubbel Voetbal in Amsterdam

Bubble Football in Amsterdam

Bubble football is one of the best team-building activities of the moment. Play this hilarious activity now with your friends, colleagues or family. Teams will compete against each other, wrapped in a giant transparent bubble. Think of a game of football combined with the bumper cars at the fair. Bounce, bounce and bounce in the Zorb balls.

Clara Maria cheese farm & clog factory

The Clara Maria cheese farm and clog factory is set in the rural polder landscape just southwest of Amsterdam. This historic 150-year old farm lets visitors experience the old-world charms of the Netherlands.

Nelson Mandelapark

Formerly known as the Bijlmerpark, this large park in Amsterdam Zuidoost has plenty of areas for sports and recreation, a skate park, a magnolia valley and an arboretum comprising native trees from the many homes of the neighbourhood’s residents.
