"A’DAM Lookout One of the hippest neighborhoods in the city is Amsterdam-Noord, situated directly across the IJ River from the main train station. Here, an iconic 1970s office high-rise has been recently revamped and rebranded as A’DAM, an acronym for Amsterdam Dance and Music. Along with music-themed businesses, restaurants, and an underground nightclub, the tower boasts the rooftop Lookout, an open-air observation deck 20 stories up that offers panoramic views of the historic city center, the bustling port to the west, and the Dutch landscape beyond. Daredevils line up for Over the Edge, a huge metal contraption that lets you literally swing out over the edge of the building. Entrance to the Lookout is €12.50 (about $15) and a ride on the swing is €5 (about $6)."

Didn't know what to expect from the damn lookout experience, but managed to make it on a pretty clear day and the views from the top were amazing. The lift that takes you up is a experience lift which was really fun. There is a bit of a queue on the way back out when you're coming down as there is only one lift up and down, but the queue is quite quick as the lift is quite large. The actual swing experience was much scarier than I thought it was going to be as it looked quite tame when you were standing and watching people get on it, but when you are hanging over the edge it's quite an experience. Would definitely recommend damn lookout for anybody coming to Amsterdam for something different and fun to do.

One of the best experiences I had in the city! I had a wonderful day! I booked online a tour and burger menu, I arrived at 1 pm and left and 9 pm so I enjoyed the city in morning and with evenings lights. The view is amazing., 360*all around Amsterdam. The sky bar is so nuts . I had two tequila sunrises really well done 👍🏻, and also burger was good ! I will back for sure for spend another day off chilling with Amsterdam view. Really recommend!

I booked the tickets online to avoid the queue, though it turned out there wasn’t one. It’s also super easy to reach, thanks to the free ferry from Central Station—so convenient! The building has plenty to explore, from a small cinema and photo spots to restaurants, bars, and, of course, the swing—which was an unforgettable experience. It’s a fantastic spot to spend a few hours

Very nice experience. The bar view is breathtaking and the swing experience is so exiting. You can enjoy the view both from the 360 degrees windows that surround the bar and from the terrace on the roof. There are also telescopes to look around the city from that high spot. The swing experience is totally worth the price and they take care of the photo and videos. Super recommend.

Enjoyed a ferry ride across from central station to get to this fun attraction. The experience starts as soon as you go up the first flight of stairs where there is an opportunity to have your photo taken. Then it is into the lift, which has a light show as you speed up. The views from the inside and outside observation decks are great, with free telescopes and lots of information about the building and it's history. We paid for the swing, which was a short but exhilarating experience! We had also paid for a burger and a drink with our entry ticket, burger was nice but nothing special. I would recommend getting a ticket in advance as the queues to buy on the day looked quite long.

Surprisingly fun. A light show on the way up, lovely green screen opportunities and the swing experience was terrifying but made for good photos oops and adrenaline. It's truly upsetting though that they charge €29 for the video they record of you, which is more than the swing and admission fee combined but if you're okay with just photos, I'd highly recommend it

This was such a lot of fun. Swinging over the edge of the Adam Lookout. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We first had a drink in the restaurant where we admired the view and then went up to the Lookout. The staff will take photos and a 360-degree video of your swing adventure. These are for sale. I found the price quite on the high side

Very scenic it looks from this place! Love the view. Also experienced the swing. Though it’s not really big swing but was really to sit on it and look at the view! It was great! People who are scared of heights, watch out!
