NEMO in Amsterdam

Amsterdam’s NEMO is a green building shaped like a ship. It is the biggest science centre in the Netherlands and offers the chance to take a voyage of discovery into the world of science and technology. This place is perfect for children aged four to 16 and their parents.

A visit can reveal fascinating facts about a variety of things including sound, light, genes and DNA, water, metal, chemicals and the human mind.

The centre covers a broad range of subjects including natural science, human behaviour and information and communication technology. As well as the permanent exhibition, there is also a full programme of temporary shows. Before you leave, don’t forget to check out the centre’s upper deck, which has a magnificent view over Amsterdam and is transformed into a beach during the summer.

COC Club organizes several different club nights. Each with their own distinctive flavour so that even the softest (or hardest) party-goer will come across a night that will get their feet moving.

Resident DJs on the decks include DJ M@rs who plays funky, sexy & uplifting dance, DJ Biba with his own brand of Madclubhouse, and DJ Roelz and DJ Pepper, both of whom put club and house music on the soundsystem.

You can buy food, snacks and drinks, relaxing with your friends. They even have a selection of magazines for you to browse as well as an internet service.:):)

I once read that the best way to have a happy life was not to do the big things that everyone dreams about – going on a cruise, winning the lottery, living in a fancy house…

The secret lies in the little things. Singing your favourite song on your bike, making a cake from scratch, bathing with deliciously scented soap. Fortunately for us Amsterdammers there’s a gorgeous selection of soaps just waiting to be purchased at La Savonnerie on the Johnny Jordaanplein.

Made from olive oil. All natural, none of it tested on animals, with a multitude of colours and scents.
