Cultural delights in Amsterdam

Cultural delights in Amsterdam
For a culture-crammed time in Amsterdam a visit to the Melkweg is sure to prove more than satisfactory.

Based in the heart of the city on Leidseplein square, near to the Stadsschouwburg theatre, the mixed-use entertainment venue is certain to have something catered towards people of all backgrounds and tastes.

Visitors will be able to take in a variety of theatrical and dance performances in the Max and Oude Zaal venues, not to mention the chance to observe art and photography exhibitions.

In addition, the Melkweg acts as a live music venue which in the past has seen performances from world-renowned acts such as the Bloodhound Gang and The Streets, as well as numerous dance events held by various superstar DJs.

Film buffs, meanwhile, have the opportunity to catch some of the latest screenings.

However, those spending some time in Amsterdam should not make the Melkweg their sole port of call, with the annual Holland Festival sure to be a source of much fun and merriment, while those wishing to take a breather from the urban surroundings should stop by the Hortus Botanicus.
