About NDSM

Sheds and street art fill a former shipyard on the north bank of the IJ. At NDSM, the scale shifts: you leave the narrow houses of the center behind and find an industrial space that now hosts artists, exhibitions and places to eat.

The ferry crossing from Centraal is part of the outing; confirm the destination before boarding. Walk the public areas and finish by the water. Events change how people move around, so don't count on free access to every shed or on programming in every corner.
