Entertainment
Amsterdam supports a flourishing arts scene, with loads of big concert halls,
theatres, cinemas and other performance venues filled on a regular basis. Music
geeks will be in their glory, as there's a fervent subculture for just about every
genre, especially jazz, classical and avant-garde beats.
Jazz & Classical Music
Jazz is extremely popular, from far-out, improvisational stylings to more traditional notes.
Little jazz cafes abound, and you could easily see a live combo every night of the week.
Amsterdam's classical music scene, with top international orchestras, conductors and so-
loists crowding the agenda, is the envy of many European cities.
Rock & Dance Music
Amsterdam's dance music scene thrives, with DJs catering to all tastes. Many clubs also
host live rock bands. Huge touring names often play smallish venues such as the Melkweg
and Paradiso; it's a real treat to catch one of your favourites here.
Ticket Shops
You can buy tickets (with a surcharge) via the Uitburo ( Click here ) on the Leidseplein.
Comedy, dance, concerts, even club nights are all potentially available. In addition, the Last
Minute Ticket Shop ( www.lastminuteticketshop.nl ) desk in the Uitboro sells half-price
seats on the day of performance. Last Minute shops are also in the Centrale Bibliotheek
Amsterdam ( Click here ) and VVV ( Click here ) at Centraal Station.
