The Amsterdam View

The View (Hack Battle Location)

The Amsterdam View is a unique penthouse loft in the heart of Amsterdam. Located at the storied intersection of the former Amstel river and the historic Dam square, The Amsterdam View has the rare distinction of overlooking Amsterdam from within the heart of the city. Situated on the 6th floor, higher than any building in its vicinity, The Amsterdam View sets the tone for exclusive events and meetings.

The Hack Battle will be held at The View.

The View is located at Rokin 75 in Amsterdam (Google Maps)



How to get there

The Nes street is easily reachable by foot or by bike. It's just a 10 minute walk from Central Station, or, if you prefer public transport, a short walk from the Tram and Metro stops. Use the 9292 public transport website to get directions to the location. Lastly, to make it just that bit easier, we even put it on the map for you.
