Sugar Factory
A cool spot, an excellent location and a varied line-up are the hallmarks here. But this ain’t your average club – most nights start with music, cinema, or a dance or spoken-word performance, followed by late-night DJs and dancing.

Amsterdams Marionetten Theater
Located in a former blacksmith’s shop, the puppeteers put on a limited repertoire (mainly Mozart operas such as The Magic Flute ), but the fairy-tale stage sets, period costumes and singing voices are absolutely enthralling. From June to August the theatre only performs for groups; at other times, check the website for a schedule.
