About the room

Open since
A shipyard from the 1920s until 1979, a cultural wharf run by Stichting NDSM-werf since 2009
Accessibility
The wharf is a rough open terrain shared with bikes and cars, so the surface is not always smooth for wheelchairs, but most buildings, artworks and restaurants are on the ground floor and reachable by wheelchair.

DGTL, pick your night by genre

DGTL takes over the NDSM Scheepsbouwloods with genre-split nights that sell out one by one. Pick your night by sound, not just the brand, and book as soon as you have chosen it.

Into the Woods, a quality alternative

Into the Woods is one of the two brands the techno community names as the quality alternative to the megabrands. It runs seven indoor stages at NDSM-Wharf and is selling fast.

Purple ferry from Centraal

Board the purple F4 at Centraal, the leftmost ferry to NDSM, or the orange F7 from Pontsteiger for a 7 minute crossing. All ferries are free.

Night ferry home

Ride the black F5 night ferry on weekend nights. It sails a continuous loop between NDSM, Centraal and Pontsteiger.

Shoot small, share the art

Take personal photos and video in groups of up to three, and move off an artwork after 15 minutes so others get their turn.
