About
Panoramic views over Amsterdam
The A’DAM LOOKOUT is the observation deck of Amsterdam, standing on top of the A’DAM Tower on the north shore of the IJ river. The tower is 100 metres tall and offers spectacular views over the city. From the historic city centre with its iconic canals to the city’s dynamic port, you can see it all from up here.
During your visit to the A’DAM LOOKOUT you can take a free 30-minutes audio tour of the city, filled with fun facts and highlights of what you can see from the observation deck. On the observation deck, you’ll find interactive binoculars with even more information about the city.
Adventure on top of the city
You’ll quickly reach the top of the A’DAM Tower with their spectacular lift. It will take you to the 20th floor in 20 seconds, has stunning light and sound effects, and a see-through ceiling. Once out of the lift, you can step outside onto the observation deck, where you can also visit the Rooftop Bar for your 2 included drinks.
If you prefer to enjoy your drinks inside, you can visit the Panorama Restaurant. At both locations you can choose between coffee, tea, soft drinks, Heineken beer or white house wine. In the restaurant you can also order extra bites, if you are feeling hungry.
For more adventure, you have the option to book a ride on the highest swing in Europe, which will have you dangling over the edge of the building. If you are afraid of heights, you might want to try the Amsterdam VR Ride, a rollercoaster ride along the highlights of Amsterdam. Both these activities can be booked on site and are not part of this ticket.

Nice view of Amsterdam
We visited with our iamsterdam card, otherwise I’m not sure we would have visited. The view over Amsterdam was nice with tower viewers all around. I recommend going at sunset as it would make it more special. We didn’t try the swing or the restaurant/ bar which could have contributed to a more spectacular experience.
Fab views of city
This was our first activity after arriving in Amsterdam. We took the free ferry over and it was an easy short walk to the tower. Once inside we purchased our ticket for the swing and we also booked This is Holland which is in the building behind Adam Tower. The lift to the top of the tower is filled with flashing lights as you go up. Once there you can see the views from the restaurant and go outside on the roof for the swing. If you are not swinging they have a platform set up to see out and also take photos of someone swinging. You can purchase the photos they take of you when you go back down to the gift shop. Great start to the trip.
Sight-seeing experience
Convenient location - regular free ferry behind Central Station. The VR ride was quite funny. Around the city through roller-coaster. Many famous places of Amsterdam could see through 360 degrees view. The swing was amazing and exciting even little bit short. Wonderful experience. Definitely worth it.
Nice view, mediocre dinner.
Nice view of Amsterdam from the top. The glass window in the floor is also cool. The telescopes were useless as they're blurry, so you can't see much. We booked a dinner reservation with our entry ticket (At Madam restaurant next to the Sky bar. The revolving restaurant underneath is fine dining). Although well cooked, the food was mediocre in taste and the portion size of the salmon was quite small. We were also seated at a table where it was hard to see the view, which defeated the object. Would recommend going for the view and a drink but not the food.
a fun few hours!
i had a great time at A’dam Lookout! you get a photo taken before you enter and its a free digital photo which was a nice touch! and the view was amazing, we had a drink in the bar which you could see all of Amsterdam from! it was a beautiful day to, went out to the outside part of the observation deck and seen the swing that goes over the edge of thr building! it looked really cool but i couldnt do it as i’m terrified of heights! we did want to have dinner up there to but it had sold out so book in advance if you want that! but overall had a really great time and its very easy to get to, just take the Buiksloterweg free ferry from Amsterdam Centraal and it takes less than 5 mins to get there
Interesting and fun!
The A'dam tower was a unique experience - interesting and fun. We thought it was great value for money. We bought the swing package and did not regret it.
Fun
Did the swing only. Got to be honest I’m not keen on heights but enjoy doing fun things and this is definitely fun. Reasonably priced and fun to do. Would recommend
Great views
We really enjoyed our visit to the lookout. Great views across the city. It was a beautiful spring day so we enjoyed a drink in the sunshine. I imagine it could get quite busy up there at peak times but there was plenty of room on our visit. Like that they had free binoculars to see the view too.
Not hidden, but a gem nonetheless!
My friend and I had so much fun coming here! The tower itself is really awesome and it was more informative than we thought! We were pleasantly surprised. The view was also amazing, even though the weather could’ve been better. The swing on the tower was the absolute highlight, it was the reason we even came. It was such a surreal feeling for the both of us, but in the best way possible. The rush of the air as you’re swinging over the edge - you can’t put a price on that, so if you’re coming to Amsterdam, definitely consider this gem. My friend and I both had a bag with us and were able to store them in a box beside the swing. Bonus: Even the souvenir shop was quite nice and we found a little something for our friends and family there.
Swing over the top to see Amsterdam!
Teenager absolutely loved the swing experience and I had fun too! Gift shop was great and the staff was helpful and friendly!
Bucket list material
Loved everything about this experience, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and I throughly enjoyed it only thing I could change would be to make the actual swing time longer but I understand it is limited to ensure everyone has a turn and keep the queue down. The tickets we bought through GYG weren’t actually tickets for the swing it was entry ticket and 2 free drinks but still was cheap to pay for the actual swing experience. It was a great day during our swing so we had a great view of Amsterdam. The lift up to the bar and swing is a LED light experience which was great too.
Fun experience with great views
So happy we visited. Scary swing ride but well worth it for the views. Great photos included and purchased video was worth it for memories. Ferry from central station across the water was easy and free. Great bar both inside and outside of lookout.
A'DAM Lookout: a fun Amsterdam experience.
A great experience. We booked online the day before for Lookout entry with the 'Over the Edge' swing experience. Staff were very friendly and welcoming with great up beat energy. After taking in views and riding the swing, we went to the Sky Bar. Very friendly, clean and prices about average for a big city. Tip: even you drop in, go to the toilets. It's a loo with a view! The whole experience was a lot of fun and good value for money. Would recommend and would visit again if back in the city.
Do it
Great, fun place. Enjoyed the swing and the 3d ride. Drinks reasonably priced in the bar. Nice that it’s a free ferry from the railway station
Distinctive, fun, and educational
This was such a unique experience — enjoyed by the entire family. Loved exploring the body as all of our senses were engaged. Would definitely go back!
Fab day with friends
Such a beautiful setting. 5 ladies who lunch spent several happy hours in the bar with drinks and snacks, then up to roof terrace. Fabulous afternoon. Views breathtaking in the sunshine
🙂
Amazing experience. Fantastic views, great exhibitions and food. Good definitely do it again. Would give 5, but the bathroom was shockingly disgusting.
Great experience
An amazing experience!! We booked online in advance. €16.50 each to go up the tower, then an extra €7.50 each to go on the swing. Staff inside were really friendly. Cool elevator ride up to the top. Gift shop at the bottom. Drinks at the top are expensive. However, there are plenty of photo opportunities throughout, especially on the swing. All these photos taken of you are free! This was great because everyone gets photos from the swing which was an amazing experience to have photos of. The ferry over from Amsterdam Centraal station was free too. We were lucky we visited on a sunny day, the sky was clear so there were great views from the top!
Definitely worth a visit.
Bought the package ticket which includes, entry to tower, the swing, and the VR ride. about £25 if you buy online, I paid while standing outside waiting to go in and saved a few quid with plenty of booking times available for the swing, but may not be a good option if its busy. The views are fantastic, with free to use telescopes and diagrams so you know where your looking, the swing is great although a little scary, the VR ride also really good although made me feel a bit rough when I got off. Prices at the bar are a bit expensive but in line with most places in Amsterdam. Staff were all friendly and helpful. there are photos and videos taken when on the swing which you can buy should you wish to. Easy to get to just take the free ferry from behind central station
Nice View of Amsterdam
Nice view of Amsterdam from the rooftop. We stopped in because we had the Amsterdam Card and were next door at This is Holland. We enjoyed the view. It is included in the Amsterdam Card so totally worth the visit.
Fun with great views!
On our last night in Amsterdam my friends and I got tickets to go up to the A'dam Lookout and I got a ticket to go on the swing. It is a short swing - maybe a minute total - but the views are great and the chair etc feels solid. Definitely worth going on at least once to experience it. Make sure someone is off to the side to capture photos and videos of you on the swing, especially if they can get the "Amsterdam" written on the roof of the Central Station in the photo.
Stunning views
Booked for myself and partner in Feb 2025. Get the free ferry across, near Adam Central station. This takes about 5 mins and they run all day. We booked the Tower lookout, swing and the VR ride. The VR ride was just OK, doesn't last too long and it is a roller-coaster that takes you around the city of Amsterdam. It was a nice addition to the booking. The view from the top is stunning. you can see all the famous places of Amsterdam whilst enjoying a cold beer. The prices at the bar 0 probably to be expected - are very expensive, however well worth it when you are enjoying the view. It was not too busy when we went as was out of season, however, I could imagine this being extremely busy in the summer. It was interesting watching the video on the towers history (located on top floor before the swing). They do have a restaurant, however, I think you may have to book and it did seem to be very expensive. The swing itself is amazing. The view was unreal and staff were very helpful. It only lasts around 3-4 mins though which was short enough, but again, to be expected. Would 100% recommend this to anyone travelling to Dam and its something that we would actually to again if we visit in the future.
Great thrill
Great thrilling ride and spectacular views. Felt very safe on swing. We also had a glass of wine included in our ticket - was lovely sitting by the window admiring the views of the city.

Great for a cold dreary day
A’DAM Lookout was absolutely worth it! The panoramic views of Amsterdam were stunning from every angle, and the entire experience was well worth the $82.22 we spent for admission. The highlight was definitely the Over the Edge swing, which gave an exhilarating thrill while offering some of the best views of the city. Even the kids had a blast, taking turns on the swing and soaking in the scenery from the observation deck. Inside, the interactive exhibits and viewing binoculars kept everyone engaged, and we also picked up some great souvenirs from the gift shop, adding an extra $25.40 to the experience. It’s a fantastic way to see Amsterdam from above, and we’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of adrenaline and breathtaking sights
Views and thrills
The A’dam tower is situated across the river from the Amsterdam Central station, a quick free 5 minute ferry away. The tower is 328 feet high and offers the chance to sit on a swing and be swung over the edge of the building. We did this in an attempt to face my fears and I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed it. The tickets were reasonable and the roof top offered panoramic views of the city and surrounding area. There’s a bar and some artwork on the top to enjoy, including a red horse you can sit on. Overall a great experience and well worth a visit, especially at sunset like we did.
Perfect Views of Amsterdam!
This was a great experience - you can reach it by travelling on the free ferry from Central Station and it takes you right to the door. You can view a miniature village of Amsterdam - which is a great attraction in the entrance lobby! We then took the lift right to the top and were subject to an amazing light show on the way up! Up on the roof you get to see the most amazing views over all of Amsterdam and the opportunity for some great photos! We also did the VR Ride - which was fantastic and the highest swing in Europe - which is also amazing but not for the faint hearted! All in all - worth the money and a great time out!
Great if the weather plays ball
The tour itself isn't anything to admire but if you do the swing, virtual roller coaster and drink package it's worth it. The day we were there unfortunately the sun couldn't push through the mist so the view was terrible but we still really enjoyed it. If in Amsterdam it has to be done.
Our video
It was an amazing experiance But iam not satisfied with the experience of buying the video that was filmed for us, it is not full version like they wrote .
Adam’s look out experience
We visited Adam’s lookout on our trip to Amsterdam and we thoroughly had a good time. Every section was worth the experience, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I greatly recommend for any visit to Amsterdam.
-Nice hour or so-
We visited this recently & felt it was a nice thing to do when visiting Amsterdam for the first time. It wasn’t a full day experience which meant we had the rest of the day to explore. The swing & VR were both good alongside friendly staff. Would reccomend.
Hermoso Amsterdam
Excelente lugar para turistear, compren por anticipado sus boletos para los museos con los audios para que aproveche al máximo los recorridos. Pierdanse en el centro caminando, al igual que en los camiones y metro (es segura la ciudad)...
Must see !!
Fantastisch uitzicht over Amsterdan vandaag op de lookout. Daarna op de schommel,wat een ervaring !! Heerlijke Sandwich en Caesar salade gegeten en de vr ride gedaan,wat een belevenis op donderdagmiddag!
Schommelen op grote hoogte.
In het begin was het een beetje eng, maar al gauw wende je aan de situatie en was het best wel prettig. Leuke ervaring. Mooi uitzicht.
SPETTACOLARE
Un esperienza bellissima.. da provare assolutamente. Un emozione unica e indescrivibile, consiglio di fare questa piccola esperienza a tutti.
Super moment vue magnifique
Table réservée pour un repas en soirée. 5 minutes de traversée en ferry gratuitement. Il faut monter au premier étage où l on a l occasion de faire 2 photos que l on peut télécharger gratuitement il réalise même 2 petits films telechargeables. Installés juste face à la baie avec vue sur tout amsterdam. Ambiance son et lumière un petit coin où l on peut se déhancher, ambiance branchée et festive. Carte très restreinte mais hamburger bien servis et service avec le sourire
Tolle Aussicht
Die Lightshow im Aufzug ist eine nette Idee und der Ausblick von der Plattform einfach großartig. Auch die Bar ist sehr einladend. Von hier kann man den Ausblick weiter in Ruhe genießen. Preis vs. Leistung ist für uns hier voll ok.
MEGA AUSSICHT
Vorher gebucht, Aussicht mit je 2 Getränken. Bekommen MEGA Aussicht über Amsterdam 2 leckere Getränke. Mutige können dort oben SCHAUKELN, und zwar über die Umrandung des Turms. 5D Achterbahn VR Kino uvm.
Indimenticabile!
Esperienza indimenticabile sia per noi che per i nostri figli di 8 e 14 anni fare l'altalena e stato spaventoso ma fattibile ti da una carica di adrenalina i biglietti per l'altalena costano 7.50€ e si possono fare stesso sopra il video si puo acquistare online a 12.50€
A'DAM Tower, Amsterdam, Niederlande/Netherlands
Es gibt vieles zu entdecken und zahlreiche Aktivitäten. Wunderschöner Ausblick auf die Stadt! Die "Lichtshow" im Aufzug ist eine tolle Idee! ❤️ You can do many different activities, it's never boring. You have a great view on the city. Good idea with the "Lightshow" in the elevator! ❤️
❤️
War ein sehr schöner Besuch auch wenn es geregnet hat. Der Aufzug ist ja mal richtig Spitze und das Essen/Trinken auch. Nur zu empfehlen ist
La mejor vista de Ámsterdam desde lo alto y aprende un poco de la relación De la Torre con la música
No te puedes perder la experiencia de subir al rooftop de la Torre A’dam, linda vista no es espectacular como otras ciudades ya que Ámsterdam es una ciudad horizontal; pero me encantó la historia De la Torre de la música, el columpio, el bar, la experiencia VR, y el elevador con karaoke. Sube !! No te vas a arrepentir
Accueil chaleureux
Trés jolie tour on a bien profité, aisni le personnel est au top pour leur accueil chaleureux et leur aide
Tof! Maar schommel TE KORT
Super mooi uitzicht. Ervan genoten en een paar drankjes gedaan in de skybar. De schommel zou ik overslaan. Super tof! Maar voor 7,50 vind ik 30 seconden wel HEEL erg kort. Heel jammer
Mozzafiato......
Lo consiglio a tutti di salire e di provare l'altalena piu alta d'Europa. Un adrenalina pura. Poi Amsterdam da sopra é uno spettacolo. Cè un bel rooftop bar fuori e anche dentro. Certo, il prezzo è secondo me un po esagerato. Qualcosa in piu di 50 Euro in due e le foto che scattano bisogna pagare anche tanto, pero penso che alla fin fine ne vale la pena...E queste cose non si fanno ogni giorni :)
Leuk
We hadden prachtig weer. Het was nog niet heel druk op het platform. Het schommelen is heel leuk maar veel te kort. Voordat je eindelijk gewend bent aan de hoogte ga je na 50-60 seconden alweer naar beneden. Het zou fijner zijn als je minimaal 3-5 minuten kan rondkijken. Gelukkig mochten we een 2e keer van de meneer omdat er geen rij was 🙏🏻 mooi uitzicht en veel uitleg op de borden waar wat is.
Sympa
Je vous recommande vraiment, super vue sur la ville avec un restaurant disponible, avec l'accès au ferry pour aller au centre ville.
Esperienza fantastica
Esperienza emozionante da vivere insieme alla propria famiglia… consigliatissimo per chi ha figli adolescenti. Spettacolare la vista dalla terrazza. Da provare le altalene più alte d’Europa. Volteggerete a 100 metri di altezza. Superata la paura è un emozione che almeno una volta nella vita, se non soffrite di vertigini, va fatta!!!
Increíble pero saca tu tus fotos
Increíble es una experiencia única ver el atardecer excelente, no me gustó que pagas por la foto y después cuando sales te cobran 5€ por impresión y si quieres digital hasta 22€ esto no me gustó . Si vas con más personas que ellos te saquen las fotos . Felicitaciones al personas súper atento mi hija iba con bastón y nos ayudaron en todo. Atte lulú de 🇲🇽
Super vue mais un peu cher
Vue incroyable sur tout Amsterdam, l’activité balançoire est très fun mais très courte ( ça vaut quand même le coup) Nous avons payé par personne 20€ pour monter + 7,5€ de balançoire, le prix des cocktails est 15-18€ de mémoire
