Viewpoint · 1 h · 360 degrees at 100 m up, opposite Central Station. €16.50 online; swing extra, from 1.20 m tall.

The A'DAM tower stands on the north bank of the IJ, directly opposite Central Station. At the top, about 100 metres up, the viewing platform is partly covered and partly open-air and shows you the canals, the port and, on a clear day, the polders. What made it famous is the Over the Edge swing, which swings you out over the edge of the roof.
How to get there and how much it costs
Behind Central Station leaves the free ferry to Buiksloterweg, which crosses in about four minutes and drops you almost at the door. Admission costs €16.50 bought online (€2 less than at the ticket office) and €10.50 for ages 4 to 12, with family packs. The swing and the virtual roller coaster are paid separately (€7.50 each) and require a height of 1.20 m. Card payments only.
Go up at sunset: it is open until 19:00 from Monday to Thursday and until 21:00 from Friday to Sunday, with last entry an hour before closing.
