Viewpoint in Amsterdam
The A’DAM Lookout is an observation deck on the 20th floor of the A’DAM Tower in Amsterdam-Noord, reached by the free ferry from Centraal Station. The observation deck is paid. The rooftop swing “Over the Edge” (Europe’s highest swing, extra fee) swings you over the edge of the building 100 meters above the IJ river. Budget travelers take the free ferry, pay the deck fee for the best aerial view of Amsterdam, and decide whether the swing is worth the extra adrenaline cost.
