The Netherlands are generally very flat, and while it’s easy to get high in a coffeeshop, it can prove tricky getting high geographically speaking. Here are some recommended vista points in Amsterdam, if you’re searching for that extra uplift.

1. Amsterdam ‘Look Out’ is a unique observation platform situated high atop the Amsterdam Tower in the North of the city, and only a two minute ferry ride across from Central Station. For thrill seekers there’s the ‘Over The Edge’ swings, the highest in all of Europe. Not for the feint of heart at over 100 meters high.

2. The Nemo ‘Science Museum’ is a large green building that looks like a boat, only five minutes walking distance from central station. There are steps leading up to the top deck where you can sit and enjoy the panoramic vistas of Amsterdam North, East and West. If you’re discrete, you can put one in the sky for old captain Nemo and Jules Verne.

3. Amsterdam Library was recently moved to a new building just to the left, when walking out of Central Station. The stunning library features a restaurant on the top floor, which leads out to a viewing balcony to enjoy the sights.
