Lookout Amsterdam: the crown jewel of Amsterdam

Lookout Amsterdam shows you the most magical view ever!

Everyone knows the old Shell Tower, right there on the IJ River, between the EYE and the Tolhuistuin. It's impossible to miss, as this tower is so gigantic and defines the skyline of Amsterdam Noord. For years, the tower was under construction, and now it's finally finished: A'dam Toren is ready for you! And the icing on the cake is Amsterdam's impressive crown: the observation deck at 85 meters high. It's been renamed Lookout Amsterdam! 

And of course, the name hits the nail on the head. Because at Lookout Amsterdam, it's all about the view. And wow, what a view! The crown of Amsterdam, already the city's rooftop terrace, offers a unique panoramic view of the entire city. Believe me, you've never seen Amsterdam like this before. Not only will you see the historic city center, but also the harbor and even the polders. And even more magical, if you're there at the right time, you can watch the sun set behind the city. How cool!

And while the view is already enough of an experience, Lookout Amsterdam has even more in store for you. If you've had enough of the view (which is never possible!) from the 21st floor, you can head down to the café. And here too, the experience continues, because with interactive games and a scale model of the city, you'll see Amsterdam in a whole new light.

But the best is yet to come. For the real thrill seekers, there are also swings on the observation deck. Swings that—if you go high enough—will send you soaring over the edge of the tower. Of course, with all the necessary safety precautions, so you'll be wearing a full-body safety vest. Sounds terrifying, do you dare? Admission to Lookout Amsterdam is €15!
