    The Melkweg is known for discovering new bands and new musical talents.

    Never a dull moment in this place that is well equipped and smoothly running.

    Concert: Classical Music
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Nightlife Spot: Concertgebouw

    In 1883 the construction for the Concertgebouw -Amsterdam's Concert Hall for classical music, designed by Adolf Leonard van Gendt- started. At the time the location was an empty polder. More than 2000 poles were used to give the foundations a solid anchor.

    In 1888 the building was opened with music from Wagner, Händel, Bach and Beethoven.

    From1985 till 1988 a new Main entrance was created at the J.W. Brouwersplein with a glass foyer designed by van Pi de Bruijn.

    The performances are not limited to classical orchetra's; I've seen King Crimson perfrom at the main hall. Many more popgroups have been there too.

     today we visited the Anne Frank house. After seeiing the movie about her on 4 may it was impressive to see the house where 8 people stayed for 2 years. On our way to the station we passed unintentional the red-light district. Well, that's Amsterdam also
