Attention! Due to the corona crisis, security measures are in place in Amsterdam. We will keep you informed about the corona measures in Amsterdam on our blog.

Cultural in Corona-time

We don't have to tell anymore that this corona period is quite special. It is also clear that many entrepreneurs and industries are currently struggling to keep their heads above water. But can we all do something about this? Yes, We think so!

Currently, there are many restrictions involving the opening and closing of locations. Hospitality is completely closed and of course there is a maximum capacity of 30 people in indoor spaces but also there are still exceptions when a location has several indoor spaces that can be closed separately from each other. Also, time slots have to be reserved for many places to get in and keep the crowds under control. But it is precisely at this time that the cultural institutions need visitors more than ever!

Museums

Most museums in Amsterdam are still open. In any case, all major and well-known museums have the doors open. Precisely because there are virtually no tourists at the moment, these museums in Amsterdam have almost no visitors and therefore no income. Look at it on the positive side, because it is so quiet you can finally visit that museum where you always wanted to see. You do not need to wait in line for the Night Watch in the Rijksmuseum, and also be able to see the Sunflowers in the Van Gogh Museum. Take a museum year card and visit the museums of Amsterdam now!

Concerts

Perhaps the concert halls are the ones most affected by the coronacrisis. Large locations like Carré, for example, have closed the doors for the time being because opening the doors for an audience of up to 30 people is just costing more money. However, other locations such as Paradiso, Milky Way and ohers are still open. Yes it is true that they are only small concerts with less big names but give the less familiar a chance and have a nice evening yourself! By buying a ticket, you can enjoy yourself and support the cultural sector and the artists who are also struggling.

Conconclusion

As you can see, there are plenty of opportunities to actively make cultural trips in Amsterdam. It's quiet and you have all the space and time to yourself. It is really a must!
