Top Observation Decks in Amsterdam

My advice is to take the stairs up if you can. The elevator line can get pretty long, and the stairwell offers fun little art exhibitions along the way!

Don't skip the rooftop bar. Happy hour is from 5 to 7 PM, and the cocktails are worth every penny – plus, the ambiance is super chill

Plan to spend at least 2-3 hours here. There’s so much to see and do interacting with all the cool exhibits kept me entertained.

Take the time to explore the hands-on exhibits. I initially skipped them, but I ended up having the most fun there—it’s all about engaging with science!

If you can, visit on a weekday morning around 10 a.m. to avoid the crowds; I did that, and it felt way more relaxed.

Check for online offers or discounts! I missed out on a deal when buying my tickets at the entrance, and it stung a bit. Definitely worth a quick hunt online!

my advice is to check out happy hour deals; drinks can be pricey! i saved quite a bit by going between 5-7 pm. just don't forget to ask about it first!

I think the bar can get a bit packed on weekends, so if you're not a fan of crowds, maybe visit on a weekday. We enjoyed the quieter vibe on Tuesday.

I suggest getting there by 6 PM for dinner. The sunset views are unbeatable, and they shift into a cozy vibe after dark.

Keep an eye out for happy hour deals on drinks between 4 PM and 6 PM. I had a lovely cocktail at half price!

I recommend trying the local dishes. The servings are hearty, but they could be a bit pricy, so maybe share a plate!

My advice is to check the happy hour specials before ordering drinks; I saved a few euros that way. Don’t rush – take your time to soak in the scenery!

I suggest going around sunset, like 7 PM, for the best views and some killer photos. Plus, the vibe is more chill then, not overly packed.
