Noorderlicht, Amsterdam
My one and only nr 1 top terrace.
Located on one of the nicest spots of Amsterdam with a beautiful view over the majestic waterway called “‘Het IJ”. Live music in the evening and always great food and drinks. If you visit Amsterdam an absolute must, so make sure to put it on your bucketlist. Not only the outside is special but the design inside is more than creative. Post-creative is the right qualification. Ask the cook for the day specialties.
Address: NDSM Plein 102, Amsterdam. Take a small ferry behind the Central Railway Station to get there. The little trip to the place is already a joy in itself.
