Amsterdam Arena Tour
If travelling to the city of Amsterdam then the Amsterdam ArenA is a must see. In fact with the number of different events held at the multifunctional venue your trip may be based around a visit there.
When it opened in 1996 the design of the stadium was unprecedented, being the first stadium on the planet that had a passageway that ran underneath the entire stadium complex and also the first stadium that had a sliding roof in Europe.

Since its opening just over 15 years ago the stadium has acted as the headquarters and home stadium of AFC Ajax football club, as the venue for domestic cup final matches, the main venue for the Dutch national squads international matches. As well as football the stadium has also been host to a large number of music concerts featuring some of the world’s leading performers and bands as well as some of the world’s largest indoor dance parties, known as Sensation and Black.
If you wanted to pay a visit to the stadium to see how spectacular it is first hand then you can turn up and go on a ‘World of Ajax Walk-in Tour’ which run daily between the hours of 11am and 4.30pm. These walks will give you a behind the scenes look around the stadium as well as the history and stories of the stadium.
I recently did the tour myself and you get to go into areas such as the TV and press conference area and get the chance to walk onto the edge of the pitch (where a professional photographer takes pictures you can buy later on if you wish). The stadium is easy to get to and I highly recommend this tour if you are heading to Amsterdam.
