Concertgebouw

When you go to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, you must plan at least a 2 weeks trip! Amsterdam may not be as big as other capitals, but it surely has a lot to offer on the level of culture. The Royal Concertgebouw must be on your list of buildings to visit right next to the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum. The Concertgebouw is considered one of the best concert halls on the world due to its acoustics. A huge number of concerts take place at the Concertgebouw each year and there are hardly any free places left.

The Concertgebouw is a challenge for the performers as well as for the spectators. You will never forget your first time at the Concertgebouw! The location itself is simply beautiful and when you experience the astonishing acoustics of the place it will be like a dream come true, you will just flow with the music. In this place we aren't talking about mere sounds, but more likely of a poetry of the sounds which are blended by the acoustics of the Concertgebouw.

Even if you are not interested in classical music, you can take a tour of the building. A guide will take you in every little place of the Concertbegouw even to the attic where they control all the lights. You can visit the Queen`s special room as well. However, you will have to reserve the tickets for the tour in advance, but if you are lucky enough you will manage to get them a day before you want to visit it.

All in all, visiting the Concertgebouw is a glorious experience, that's why everyone who had or will have the chance to participate to a classical concert at this venue should consider himself/herself lucky.Less
