1. Sea Palace Amsterdam
Sea Palace is the first floating restaurant in Europe. The Chinese pagoda-style restaurant situated in the Center of Amsterdam near the Central Station will grasp you by surprise.

2. Double Tree Lounge
A place where you can stop for a drink and enjoy the beautiful view of the city is at Sky-lounge Amsterdam of the DoubleTree by Hilton.

3. Vondelpark’s Picasso
In Amsterdam’s largest city park — Vondelpark — there are several statues and sculptures including one by Pablo Picasso. The artist gifted it to the city in 1965 for the 100th year existence of the park. Picasso intended in to be a bird but Amsterdammers have always seen it as a fish. That’s why it’s locally known as the Picasso Fish statue.
4. W hotel lounge
The W hotel is located in the middle of the city Centre. Unlike the skyline view of the Double Tree Sky-lounge, at the W lounge you’ll have an unparalleled 360-degree view over the city from within. This cocktailbar, lounge and nightlife venue is on the 6th floor and open to everybody.
