  • Knowing your way around

    Noord residents are avid users of the Canta: a motorbike on four wheels, or rather a bumper car. It fits one and a half people, but that doesn’t stop people from sitting in it together. It was...

  • Bus

    If your final destination is situated in the heart of Noord, it’s best to travel by bus. To travel by bus, you must purchase a public transport chip card (or ‘OV-chipkaart’ in Dutch), or buy a single...

  • Ferries

    Take a ferry along the shores of Noord to watch the skyline and find yourself amongst local residents. All ferries are free. Don’t stand all the way up front, the waves can splash quite high.

  • Public Art

    In 2001, Claes Oldenburg was inspired by the vast amount of giant plastic ice cream cones, used as advertising along Cologne's shopping streets. When he was commissioned by a shopping mall in Cologne...

  • Towards Noord!

  • Nature in Noord

    One of the great advantages of Noord (as a holiday destination) is the combination of city and nature within the distance of a short bike tour. Noord lies enclosed by two completely different nature...

  • Gentrification Battlefield

    The non-Noorderner is advancing in Amsterdam-Noord. Ten years ago only the occasional explorer would dare to cross the water, taking a headquarters in an old conquered warehouse on the NDSM-wharf.

  • The Inhabitants of Noord

    As a tourist, it is helpful to know how one should go about interacting with the various cultures in Noord. Dutch bluntness comes from a desire to be honest and helpful, so you're best off listening...

  • Learning to Cycle in Noord

    The roads are broad and easily accessible, but by car you can’t truly enjoy the subtle beauty of Noord. Bicycles are the means of transportation for an authentic exploration of Noord. In a half hour...

  • Green Noord

    Noord has a widespread rural area, practically unchanged in the last 400 years. Even today, the peat fields are still tilled by farmers. This has left the Waterland part of Noord with a bunch of...

  • Posters & Subculture

    The style of Amsterdam Noord, as shown by the palette of posters circulating throughout the district. What’s going on in Amsterdam Noord and within what subcultures? We’ve scoured the whole of Noord...

  • Winkelcentrum Boven 't Y

    Thanks to this huge shopping centre, Noord is fully equipped. Don’t expect a shop mecca, but the traditional Dutch store Hema is present, where you’ll find everything you need. Boven ‘t Y is a nice...

  • The Beach

    A day trip to the beach can be made at any given moment, even when the weather stays bad all day. Because the beach is great for sun bathing, but also good to watch the stormy sea from under the...

    Smoking peacocks, urbanibalism and snails
