These are the most beautiful places for a sunset in Amsterdam

Oh summer nights, how we long for you. Especially towards the sunset. In nature, but also in the city. Amsterdam is perfect for this. Take off your picnic blanket and add a drink. For the latter we recommend the new edition of Passoã.

These are the most beautiful places for one sunset in Amsterdam.

 

Of course, the sunset and a beach bar also go hand in hand, so here is a list of the nicest beach tents in the Netherlands.

Java Island

Java Island

The program Java Island, which is a residential area on a peninsula. And there the sun sets beautifully. Located in the Eastern Docklands of Amsterdam. What we recommend is a bicycle tour along the islands in the Eastern Docklands. In addition to Java Island, you should not miss KNSM Island. You will find beautiful architecture on Java Island. Also nice are the 9 wrought iron bridges designed by artists. A wonderful place to stroll or cycle through. All the colored houses make it the ideal place to watch the sunset.

And a hotel recently opened on Java Island, so you can continue to the tropics after sunset hotel jakarta.

Sunset on the roof terrace

Sunset on the roof terrace

Yep, for the nicest roof terraces, aka rooftops, of course we have another list ready for you, you will find here. But here's a short one recap:

  • High tide in Amsterdam North: there you have a great view with a beautiful roof and good food. And most likely open again this summer.
  • Restaurant desk: wonderfully undiscovered. With good dishes with ingredients from the vegetable garden.
  • GAPP @ Hotel Casa: beautiful hotel, but even more beautiful is the beer garden on the rooftop.
  • Soho House Amsterdam: roof terrace with swimming pool. But only Soho House members are allowed there.

Clichés EYE and A'DAM Lookout

Clichés EYE and A'DAM Lookout

I see, EYE community is a cliché, we know. But it remains one of the most beautiful places to admire the Amsterdam skyline. Enjoy a drink, the latest edition of Passoã, for example, and dream away on the quay with a good conversation. You can also eat and drink in the spacious Eye Bar Restaurant and then you will also have a good view of the setting sun.

Another cliché, the A'DAM lookout. Oh well, with an observation deck where you can take very good snapshots or have a romantic view of the city. You see the historic center, harbor and polder landscape. Do you recognize the canals?

Passoã, how old skool do you want it? Because who hasn't drunk it (in the past). With friends on a bench or secretly from the parents' closet, well, we keep that to ourselves. Everyone probably has their own story with Passoã, nostalgia sure. We think it might be our favorite drink.

Passoa is hot, summer is coming and hello evenings with beautiful sunsets and so is the new edition of Passoã. So if you have found a spot on this list, we also have a suggestion for a drink. The well-known black bottle comes with a 'sunset edition' bottle for the first time. What, what, what? Warm, sunny colors evoke warm and positive vibes from the sunset. Is that the only thing? Nope, for the first time we can see what's in the bottle. The iconic pink-red color with a bottle for illustrations and of course lots of passion fruit in the bottle. You can just buy it in the liquor stores. Enjoy the sunset.

Porn Star Martini

Porn Star Martini

And we already gave away a tip above, but Passoã alone is not enough. You can mix it with orange juice, just like we used to do, but we quickly got tired of that. So voilà, we share the recipe for a Porn Star Martini. This is what you need:

  • 4 CL Passoã
  • 4 CL Vodka
  • 1 CL vanilla syrup
  • 10ML fresh lime juice
  • Pulp of half a passion fruit

How to make this delicious cocktail:

1. In a shaker full of ice, pour one part Passoã, the same amount of vodka,
a dash of vanilla syrup, fresh lime juice, the flesh of half a passion fruit and shake.
2. Pour into a nice glass and decorate with the other half of the passion fruit (you can eat it afterwards).

Strandvier

Strandvier

This tip is below, well actually above, the smoke of Amsterdam. Strandvier in Monnickendam, we prefer not to tell everyone that tip. Well, too late. A lovely beach bar by a lake, which you will find in Hemmeland. The silence of the Gouwzee greets you as soon as you walk onto the sand with your feet. Or arrive at the jetty with your boat and more. And for the active ones among us, what does the sunset sound like from the kayak?

Strandvier is open daily from April 1 to September 30 from 10:00 AM to 22:00 PM.

Pllek, Amsterdam North

Pllek, Amsterdam North

We will tell you more about the restaurant, nice beach and interior in a few sentences. But first things first: Films with a View. At Pllek they organize movie nights on the city beach. Then watching the sunset with a thriller in the background becomes even more exciting. You can not only settle down there for a film, but also for a dose of sustainability. The menu is at least 75% vegetarian and 25% vegan.

A good city beach, and with a number of containers in shades of red, it is also a good place to stay inside.
