Ziggo Dome

Located in the Zuidoost district of Amsterdam, the Ziggo Dome is the city's largest multi-purpose entertainment location.

Gaasperplas Park

The Gaasperplas is a recreational area and nature reserve with a lake and water sports centre, offering canoeing, swimming, rowing, sailing and windsurfing. The Gaasperplas area was used as the site of the Floriade garden show in 1982, and later turned into a public park. With more than 5 kilometres of paths, you can explore the park by foot, bicycle or horseback. At the edge of the park you’ll find the Gaasperping campsite.

OSCAM

At the Open Space Contemporary Art Museum (OSCAM) on the Bijlmerplein you will find a place where art, fashion, design and craftsmanship in the Bijlmer come together. It is a museum in the Amsterdamse Poort shopping center in the Zuidoost district. They are located in the old Cool Cat building, diagonally opposite the KFC, between the Panda Bubble Tea Bar and Hunkemöller. You understand, between the fast food chicken, Instagram drinks and sexy lingerie, there is of course a great need for art and culture.

Creative Community Heesterveld

The colourful Heesterveld Creative Community is nestled in an unlikely location between the motorway and office buildings. In the past, this block of flats was a no-go area, but these days it has been transformed into a lively cultural breeding ground, with ateliers in the former basement storage rooms and the artists' homes above.

Amsterdamse Poort

At this modern shopping centre in Amsterdam Zuidoost, you'll find not only the standard C&As and Coolcats that grace many Dutch high streets, but also lots of exotic eateries, delis and tokos (Indonesian takeaways).

Yemayá’s Vegan Corner

At Yemayá in Southeast you can eat delicious vegetable pitas, soups, burgers and pizzas with a Surinamese touch. Ymeaya is more than a restaurant; as a community, Yemayá would like to encourage and empower people through a sincere way of empowerment.

AFAS Live

AFAS Live (formerly known as the Heineken Music Hall) is a renowned multi-functional concert hall for pop concerts, dance parties, events and large-scale theatre productions. Situated in Zuidoost, directly opposite the Johan Cruijff ArenA, it hosts concerts and events with a capacity up to 5,500.

The weekly Wednesday market with food and non-food products starts at 9 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m. You can go here for daily and weekly shopping.

Kleiburg Brewery tasting rooms

Sample some locals brews from Brouwerij Kleiburg: De Bijlmer’s own abbey brewery, connected to the Kleiklooster, a double monastery in a tower block.
