Rooftop Square
The rooftop square is open! This brand-new, green area of the museum is the ideal place to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat while enjoying fantastic views over Amsterdam.
Opening times
The rooftop square is open every day from 10:00 to 17:30. On Thursdays during the summer months, the rooftop square is open until 21:00. Access to the roof is free of charge. Please take the stairs on the east side.
Discovering, measuring, birdwatching
Nature meets technology: study the clouds, measure air quality, spot the different urban birds. On this rooftop, plants and animals find their place, right in the heart of the city.
Relax and take in views
See Amsterdam from a completely different perspective from the brand-new vantage point above the restaurant, offering spectacular views over the city.
Learn about animals and plants
The roof is full of plants that are good for biodiversity and people living in the city. Blackbirds forage between the bushes. Blue tits and great tits hunt for insects. Tree trunks and boulders offer a hiding place for small animals. And the rooftop’s plants provide cooling during hot weather.
Study the clouds
Stratus, cirrus, cumulus... Clouds come in all shapes and sizes, each with their own name. What types of cloud will you spot today?
