Amsterdam

Your favorite artist or your artist's favorite artist in pop, rock, electro house and hip hop have already come to express their talent in the temples of music in Amsterdam . For example, Nirvana and the local boy Martin Garrix in an intimate 1,750-seat venue like Paradiso, and Drake and Passenger in a 17,000-seat venue like Ziggo Dome. Amsterdam is a hub of music and painting. Dutch painters, among others Johannes Vermeer, Vincent van Gogh and Rembrandt, are historically anchored in the Dutch culture. The Museumplein illustrates this popular fervor of Dutch and foreign tourists who come to visit the Museumkwartier where the Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum and the Van Gogh Museum are located, as well as the annual festival Uitmarkt with a varied cultural offer (plays, cinema, hip-hop, etc).
