    Daytrips around Noord

    When you have had enough of the typical garden settlements of Noord, the gentrification on the Noordse IJ-shore and the normality of the van der Pekbuurt, there are a couple of daytrips to set your...

  • Waterland, Monnickendam and Marken

    If you want to escape the urban bustle of Noord, the area northward from Noord has a lot to offer. Countless walking and biking trails are indicated in Waterland. You can go out on a small motor boat...

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Rental

    For all your rentals in transportation.

  • 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...

  • Twiske & de Zaanse Schans

    The second countryside day trip leads to nature reserve Twiske. On this ancient ground present-day activities are being organised: there are trails for horseback riding, biking, roller skating and...

  • Rugged Noord

    This route takes you through the east part of Noord. You'll discover changes to the (former) industrial area. But you will also bike across Noord's old dike and see some of her older parts.

  • 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...

    Everyone who helped put Noord on the map

    Our project team, the artists and designers, sponsors, friends, Noorderlingen and other informers.

  • 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...

  • Towards Noord!

    If you’re traveling to Noord from Schiphol Airport by public transfer, you will always have to travel to Amsterdam Central Station first. From there on, you take a ferry to Noord. It’s also possible...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

    Introduction to Noord

    This is the first Arabic travel guide to The Netherlands. It is about Amsterdam-Noord. We made this guide during the summer of 2010 with a group of editors and a team of 22 artists from Egypt, the...

  • Making a night of it

    Are you a dancing cosmopolitan of the trendy kind? Then the Northern bank of the NDSM shipyard is your kind of place in those nightly hours. More into bars and cafes? Fear not: there’s plenty of...

  • Video-installatie by Malak Helmy

    Part of the Noord project.

    During the summer of 2010 Malak Helmy got her feet wet with some of Noord's best synchronized swimmers. The result? A beautiful, poetic video installation about Noord and about living as an...

  • Playing in Nature

    Playing in green is possible at the Vliegenbos forrest and the Florapark (called ‘Noorderpark’ from 2011 onwards). The park is still being altered, but the delivered parts are looking promising and...
