1Rooftop
Coworking on a rooftop, views included
“Next to the monthly membership there is a daily pass. Not cheap, I'd say, but the interiors and the views are amazing.” — Pavel, Limen
Editor’s choice
Rooms worth crossing town for.
A rooftop, a sixth-floor view, a spiral staircase over Leidseplein. I’ve worked from some of these myself, and they stood out: the vibe there is something special. These are the eight places in Amsterdam I’d send a friend to first.
Eight rooms, one city
2 photos2LibraryA sixth-floor view, and it’s free
“The best of the OBA libraries, near Central Station, with a nice view from the 6th floor. Often crowded with students.” — Pavel, Limen
3Mezzanine
Up a spiral staircase, over Leidseplein
“But it’s the mezzanine in the cafe, complete with spiral staircase and views over Leidseplein, that is the main attraction for those looking for a great spot to work.” — I amsterdam
4Greenery
Tall windows and an urban jungle
“There’s reliable wifi and you’ll even find power outlets in the outside spaces” — I amsterdam
5Outlets
More sockets than an electronics store
“A corner set apart from the food hall. Not busy, except at the weekend.” — Pavel, Limen
6Hotel lobbyA hotel lobby with a coffee mezzanine
“A hotel lobby in the city center, moderately crowded.” — Pavel, Limen
7CoffeeA coffee school with a long table at the back
“Great coffee. Seats run around the room; some are low, like armchairs, and about ten tables have ordinary chairs. Most people come to talk, but it isn't loud.” — Pavel, Limen
8Local
Come early, order the spappelsap
“This charming cafe in the west of the city has enough spots to land your laptop. Don’t miss out on their signature spappelsap — a funky mix of sparkling water and apple juice. White Label Coffee fills up quickly on weekends, so come early or miss out.” — Matador Network
Limen Cowork
