A'DAM Lookout
A'DAM Toren
The A'DAM Tower lookout on the north bank offers 360-degree views over the old city and the IJ river, plus a swing suspended high above the street.
The A'DAM Tower was originally the Shell oil company's office building. In 2016 it was converted into a cultural complex combining a hotel, a nightclub and a revolving restaurant. The top-floor lookout offers 360-degree views of the old city skyline, Centraal Station and the harbour. Its signature attraction is the swing “Over the Edge,” which hangs 100 metres above the ground outside the tower. There is also a VR high-altitude experience. Admission to the lookout costs about €17, and the swing costs extra. A free ferry from behind Centraal Station reaches Buiksloterweg in just 5 minutes, next to the EYE Film Museum.
