Did you sleep in? Already ate breakfast? Great, then you are ready to head off to the Amsterdam Lookout. You can do this activity this morning and go there around 10:00. This lookout, about 100 meters above the ground, gives you a fantastic view over Amsterdam and its surroundings. Because of its beautiful location on the IJ you will literally float over the water.

If you're looking for a truly breathtaking experience, step into the highest swing in Europe. This swing will make you swing above the city. Are you up to it? For just €19.00 you can start your day swinging before the music of the Amsterdam nightlife can be heard! You can easily reach the Lookout from the Central Station with the Buiksloterweg ferry. This is completely free and there is no need to book a ticket in advance.

Looking for a more quiet activity? Then step into one of the boats that will give you a tour of the Amsterdam canals. You can take this tour of at least one hour all day long, as the boats leave every half hour. If you prefer to take a tour on your own, you can rent a boat with your friends. Bring some food and drinks (note that the captain is not allowed to drink), and your morning will be more than filled.

Amsterdam's canals are wonderful for watching the city unfold. Watch as it slowly gets busier and busier in the city that never settles down. If you prefer something more active, then renting a bike is a great recommendation. A ride along the Amsterdam canals will provide you with beautiful views. Be aware, however, that the average Amsterdammer moves around on a bicycle. With almost 900,000 bicycles in the city, you won't be the only one!

There’s no better way to immerse yourself in Dutch ‘gezelligheid’ than to go to a local ‘kroeg’. And that’s exactly why we have included many of them in your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket.

Sportsbar Heffer is a great choice for a first stop when you’re coming from central station and haven’t seen the Red Light District yet.Your ticket gets you two beers for the price of one and after you’ve had a few, make your way to Bubbels on Leidseplein. Flash your Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket at the door to get free entry and a welcome shot. Bubbels doesn’t need an excuse to party so every night of the week is a celebration. There’s live music and apart from playing hits and dance music you’ll hear a few Dutch gems from time to time. Just pretend you know the words, sing along and make new local friends.

Just a small block away,  Surprise Bar is ready to welcome you with open arms and another free welcome shot. The music switches back and forth to chart-hits and good old classics and the crowd is always in party mode.

New to the Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket family is El Punto Latino. The hottest Latin club in town, for those looking to loosen up the hips to tunes a little bit smoother than Dutch classics

CLUB PARADISO 

Paradiso is best known for its unique location and the acoustics that come with it. Because Club Paradiso is located in a church, the acoustics are pretty much insane. This isn't one of the coolest clubs in Amsterdam for no reason. With its three floors, it offers enough space for you and your friends to go crazy. Because of its central location near Leidseplein, the club is very easy to reach by streetcar or bus. With streetcar 2 or 12 it is only 15 minutes from Central Station!

Club Paradiso organizes special events almost every day. By using the Amsterdam Nightlife Ticket you and your friends get free access to these events. The variety of genres, such as House, R&B/Urban and Techno make sure there is a night of fun for everyone! Just buy the ticket, select the event and get ready to dance to the hottest beats in one of the best clubs in Amsterdam!

THE ALL OUT AMSTERDAM

The All Out Amsterdam is the go-to hotspot for interactive games, high-energy competition, and nonstop fun—all in a vibrant social setting. Whether you are here to crush your friends in darts, own the shuffleboard, sing your favourite karaoke hits, or dive into the legendary ball pit, every moment is designed for pure entertainment. And don't forget amazing food & cocktails!

When the first warm rays of the year hit the city, the Dutch switch right into summer mode. The temperature may still be well below 20 degrees Celsius, it doesn’t stop us from going straight to a nice terrace after work.When you start hearing the phrase ‘terrasje pakken?’ everywhere around you, it means the locals are ready to grab a drink outside. Are you coming along? You’ll see cafe’s putting chairs out front everywhere throughout the city, but there are a few spots that are favorite among locals.We do advise you to come early because once we have conquered a spot we ain’t going anywhere until closing time.

Is your stay in the city longer than this list? We have only covered the tip of the iceberg here and would love to show you more.

Unique Night Attractions: Icebar & A'DAM Lookout

For stunning panoramic night views, head to A'DAM Lookout across the IJ River. The 20th-floor observation deck yields a breathtaking 360-degree view of Amsterdam's illuminated skyline. Thrill-seekers can try 'Over The Edge', Europe's highest swing, dangling 100 meters above the ground as the city lights glow beneath.
