Look for parking in Amsterdam Noord

The industrial district of Amsterdam-Noord is considered raw, edgy, and trendy compared to other Amsterdam neighborhoods. Amsterdam-Noord consists of various neighborhoods and garden villages, each with its own distinct character. Whether you're on a culinary, cultural, or creative tour, Amsterdam-Noord has something to offer in every aspect. Although there's plenty to do in this trendy district, mass tourism hasn't reached Amsterdam-Noord yet. This means you can still enjoy what the district has to offer without being overcrowded. While Amsterdam-Noord is not as busy as the city center, we recommend arranging a parking space in advance.

We'll tell you about the attractions in Amsterdam-Noord that you shouldn't miss, where to park in Amsterdam-Noord, and how you can continue your journey with public transportation. 

Attractions in Amsterdam-Noord 

Do you want to explore Amsterdam-Noord but have no idea where to start? That's understandable because there's so much fun to be had! Fortunately, many well-known attractions are grouped in small clusters. Park your car in a garage in Amsterdam-Noord and explore the area on foot. 

We recommend starting at the Strip. Here you'll find, to begin with, the remarkable building of the Eye Film Museum, where you can learn everything about film. The Amsterdam Tower is also located in this area. This building houses businesses, shops, restaurants, and a hotel, with the popular A’dam Lookout on the top floor. Take a lift with a light show to the rooftop for a breathtaking view and enjoy dinner or a drink at the bar. If you're a true adrenaline junkie, you can experience special swings that extend over the edge. Next to the Amsterdam Tower is This is Holland, a 5D flight simulator that takes you through Dutch landscapes with windmills and tulips. For musical performances, you can go to Paradiso Noord, and if you want to delve into history, you can walk to the monumental Ponthuys. 
Another area you must not overlook is the NDSM wharf. The former shipyard is a gathering place for creative minds and artists, offering not only performances, exhibitions, festivals, and delightful eateries but also a street art museum and even an urban beach. You'll also find the IJ-hallen, Europe's largest flea market, in this area. So, you can easily combine multiple enjoyable activities in this vicinity. 

If you'd rather spend some time in green spaces, in Amsterdam-Noord, you can visit parks like Vliegenbos, Baanakkerspark, Schellingwouderpark, and Noorderpark. The garden villages – neighborhoods in Amsterdam-Noord with a village character – are also worth exploring. Consider parking your car in a garage in Amsterdam-Noord and renting a bike to explore the area.
