Great view overlooking Amsterdam and the IJ. I definitly recommend the Madam restaurant in here. Great food, great service and great view. Also explains more about the history of Amsterdam. The free trip by boat crossing the IJ only adds to the experience. Recommended to make reservation a month in advance though:
