A former shipyard located on the banks of the River IJ in Amsterdam Noord, the NDSM Wharf has blossomed into an enormous cultural hotspot in recent years.

Evolving culture

With grounds exceeding the size of ten football pitches, the NDSM Wharf hosts multi-disciplinary festivals, performances, exhibitions, dance parties and a wide range of other events – from massive to tiny.

It is also home to a vibrant community of artists, craftspeople and theatre producers, while an expanding variety of bars and restaurants have embraced this unique waterfront area. The area itself is served by free public transport ferries.
