Melkweg, Amsterdam

The Melkweg is one of the most well-known cultural centres within and outside the Netherlands, and is unique because of a programme that unites five artistic disciplines under one roof: music, dance/theatre, film, photography and media art. Concerts, dance events, theatrical and dance productions, films, media art presentations and photo exhibitions are staged in five halls and several small rooms.

By foot/bicycle

The Melkweg is located practically on the Leidseplein square, behind the Stadsschouwburg on the right. Parking places for bicycles around Leidseplein are limited. Any bicycles not parked inside the stands will be removed. Locker (a secure bicycle parking facility located to the right of the Paradiso on Weteringschans) is the best place to park your bicycle in safety. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and only costs € 0.50 per day (and also offers a tyre repair service).

Leidseplein can be reached via trams 1, 2 and 5 (about 10 minutes from Amsterdam Central Station) and lines 6, 7 and 10 (about 7 minutes from the metro station Weesperplein). The bus routes 170, 171, 172 and the late-night busses 72, 73, 74 and 78 also stop at Leidseplein. For more travel advice, please visit www.92920v.nl
