A'DAM Tower

The 22-story A'DAM Tower (1971) was the Royal Dutch Shell oil-company offices, but it's had a makeover to become one of Amsterdam's biggest attractions. Take the trippy lift to the sky deck for sweeping city views in all directions, with a giant six-person swing that kicks out over the edge for those who have a head for heights (you're well secured and strapped in).

An Amsterdam VR Ride takes you on a wild simulated roller-coaster ride through the historic city.

Also within the tower are the swish bar and nightclub Ma'dam, and the revolving restaurant Moon on the 19th floor. There is also the basement Shelter nightclub and a hip hotel, Sir Adam.

The tower has wheelchair access.
