Thrill Tourism: Europe’s Highest Swings Opened in Amsterdam

Today, Mayor of Amsterdam Eberhard van der Laan and initiator Sander Groet opened Europe’s highest swings on the observation deck of A’DAM Tower, opposite Amsterdam Central Station. This unique attraction is part of A’DAM LOOKOUT.

Over the Edge

Over the Edge is a swing with a total of four seats situated at a height of almost 100 meters. Experience what it’s like to have Amsterdam under your feet, while swinging back and forth across the edge of the A’DAM Tower. Secured by restraints, visitors can swing across the edge of the watchtower at great height. The swings are hydraulically driven, with the possibility to pump along. A challenge for daredevils and thrill seekers! Enjoy an unparalleled view of the city, while the adrenaline courses through your veins.
