Boven Nemo Panorama Terrace Amsterdam
NEMO is the green science museum in Amsterdam which is shaped like a ship's hull. It is possible to go up onto its sloping stepped roof - where you can relax and enjoy a fine view of the surrounding area - especially during good weather. |
Boven Nemo ("Above Nemo") panorama terrace can be reached by climbing up the steps on the eastern edge of the Nemo science museum building - this is freely accessible to the public so there is no need to pay entrance fee to the museum. Lift access is also available from the museum's public foyer.
During the summer the terrace has a "city beach" theme with comfortable deckchairs to sit on. The terrace also features a large chess set, a water feature and often exhibits some display boards. At the very top you will find the DECK5 cafe which serves basic drinks and snacks.
Around Nemo is the museum haven harbour which contains a number of early 20th century boats. To the east you will see Amsterdam's Maritime museum and VOC ship; to the west you will see the new Oosterdok development and central Amsterdam.
On days when the Boven Nemo terrace is closed you can still climb half-way up to the gate to get a flavour of the view.
During sunny weather, Boven Nemo is a pleasant place in central Amsterdam to both relax and enjoy a decent panorama.
