Top 5 things to do in Amsterdam by night

Are you looking for another fun experience in Amsterdam at night? These are some of our recommendations:

1. Curious to visit The Red Light District but you don’t feel 100% comfortable going by yourself? Book a walking tour through the area and get to know more about this world famous district.
2. Enjoy Amsterdam’s Nightlife. Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein are known for their tons of fun bars, but there are also lots of bars, clubs and restaurants scattered around the city. If you like techno music you’re in luck, because many clubs love blasting techno. P.S. The Ice Bar is a fun experience!
3. Swing above Amsterdam in Europe’s largest swing or enjoy the panoramic view in the A’DAM LOOKOUT. The building is open until 22:00 and last admission is at 21:00.
4. Walk through the streets. By night the city looks very romantic with it’s illuminated canal houses. To simply walk is enough.
5. De Kas in Frankendael Park is an eight-metre-high glass structure delightfully lit up at night. Once the city’s nursery – it kept Amsterdam in plants and shrubbery – it now provides fresh ingredients for dishes such as red-cabbage gazpacho with horseradish cream. Two of the chefs were poached from the Michelin-starred RIJKS restaurant.
