Waterfront hangouts and street art in Amsterdam-Noord

Ready for a short escape from the buzzing neons and bustling streets of the Red Light District and Leidseplein? Then we got you covered.
In contrast to the historical and charming buildings in Amsterdam Centraal, the free five minute ferry over to the North side of Amsterdam brings a cutting-edge vibe filled with cool street art,  warehouses and amazing waterfront terraces.
