After 360 years, the Navy Terrain opens up. We’ll get more space in the centre of Amsterdam. What can we do with this? There are many options, such as: Sports and Relaxation, Fancy Condos, Navy, Social Enterprises with Refugees or a Party Zone. Five perfumers developed unique fragrances inspired by these five options. 

Consider the future and play our interactive fragrance game. Does your favourite scent match your favourite future? Form teams with fellow citizens during the Uitmarkt and collect all elements of your preference.
