About Roam Amsterdam
What's on in Amsterdam,
all on one map
Roam Amsterdam pins the city's concerts, exhibitions and markets on one map, for the nights you're here, next to the museums, parks and canal-side streets worth a visit.
It is built to list every public event in Amsterdam. Right now it lists 1,446 events from 258 official sources and 464 gigs from 22 venues' own schedules in the next 30 days, big and small. The sources are read twice a week and the site is rebuilt every day.
Who's behind it
Roam Amsterdam was founded by Daniel, who has lived in Canada, Mexico, Spain, Portugal, Japan, France, Brazil, Paraguay, Peru and Vietnam, and has travelled to many more countries. These days he splits his time between Tokyo and Montreal, and he also runs Roam Tokyo and Roam Kyoto.
He's a very social person, and wherever he lives or visits he goes looking for the best events and places in town. Roam Amsterdam does that looking for Amsterdam and puts what it finds in one place.
What's on the site
Start with the map. Set your dates and it shows what's on while you're here, alongside the places worth a visit, each pin with how to get there, how long to allow and when to go.
Around the map sit neighbourhood guides for the areas you might stay in.
By the numbers
There's also an events calendar for festivals, concerts, markets and exhibitions.

How the site is made
Events and gigs are read from the organisers', venues' and official bodies' own pages, and every listing links back to the page it came from. Facts on a place page come from the place's own page or an official body, and a fact that can't be confirmed is left off. Photos are added only when they are Creative Commons photos of the actual place, credited to the photographer.
Hotel recommendations
When you book a hotel through Roam Amsterdam, the site may earn a small commission through Stay22. It doesn't change what's on the map or which areas the guides suggest.
