Perfect view @ Shell tower

I'm quite a fan of the northern part of Amsterdam. In the past years, a lot of nice places have opened up their doors here. Think for example about EYE, de Tolhuistuin, Pllek..

For this weekend only, another cool hotspot opens its doors in Amsterdam Noord: the Shell Tower, also known as Overhoeks Tower. If you live in Amsterdam, you probably know it. It's situated across Amsterdam Central Station (on the other side of the water) and in between EYE and de Tolhuistuin. The tower, where Shell used to be situated, has been for sale for a very long time now. Once a year it's possible to have a look inside the tower and - most importantly ofcourse - to see the indoubtedly amazing view over Amsterdam. Unfortunately, I am not in town this weekend so I can't go there, but I am pretty sure that it is one of the best viewpoints of Amsterdam since the tower has a height of almost 80(!) meters.

If you'd like to take a look, check out www.shelltoren.nl. The tower is opened at Friday the 17th of August from 14.00-20.00, and at Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th of August from 10.00-20.00.
The entrance fee is 2,50.
