Visit one of Amsterdam's renowned sky bars

By

Experience Amsterdam from the Clouds: Visit the Floor 17 sky bar.
If you’re looking to trade the crowded canal-side bars for a view that actually takes your breath away, it’s time to hit the elevator and head straight to Floor 17, a sky-high lifestyle destination located in Amsterdam-West, famous for being the highest rooftop terrace in the city.

Perched 85 meters above the city atop the Leonardo Hotel Amsterdam Rembrandtpark, this isn't just a bar—it’s a front-row seat to the best sunset in the Netherlands. Whether you're a local or just passing through, there’s something addictive about watching the Amsterdam skyline twinkle while you hold a perfectly chilled cocktail.

Why It’s Worth the Ascent
  • The 360° Views: You get a full, unobstructed panorama of the city. Spot the Westerkerk, the Rijksmuseum, and the tiny glowing boats on the canals from a whole new perspective.
  • The Vibe: It strikes that perfect balance between "chic rooftop lounge" and "chill weekend spot." It’s sophisticated enough for a date, but laid back enough for a Saturday afternoon with friends.
  • Seasonal Magic: This is the best part. In the winter, they’ve been known to transform the roof into the highest ice-skating rink or curling floor in the city, while during summer it’s a sun-drenched terrace with DJs.
  • Liquid Gold: Their mixologists don't play around. The cocktail menu is inventive, seasonal, and—most importantly—highly Instagrammable.
Pro Tip for Your Visit

Try to time your arrival for about 30 minutes before sunset. You’ll get to see the city drenched in that "Golden Hour" glow, and then watch the transition into the glittering nightscape.

Bottom line: If you want to feel like you own the city (without actually having to pay Amsterdam real estate prices), Floor 17 is the place to be. 

Location: Staalmeesterslaan 410, Amsterdam.

Hit the ice like a Dutchie! Go ice-skating in Amsterdam

By
Did you know that the Dutch are the true masters of ice-skating? In total till date the Dutch won more than 130 speed-skating medals on all combined Olympic Games, more than any other country. It’s true that the geographical conditions make the Netherlands a suitable country for ice-skating: flat and a lot of water. Next to that, Holland has great indoor and outdoor ice rink facilities. And Amsterdam is no exception. So why not try and hit the ice when spending your time in Amsterdam during the winter months? Probably the most beautiful and pittoresque ice-rink of Amsterdam, and maybe even Europe, is on the Museumplein. Here you can skate right next to the magnificent Rijksmuseum. Unfortunately for the 2025/26 winter season the Museumplein ice-rink is currently closed. But there is a great other option to glide through Amsterdam this winter season. When you want plenty of space for ice-skating, the Jaap Eden baan in Amsterdam Watergraafsmeer is a good place to be and open ...
