Parking near Oosterdokseiland
Prebooking
The Oosterdok has a rich history. Originally constructed in the 19th century as part of the expansion of the harbour and the improvement of shipping infrastructure, it grew to become an important gateway for ships entering Amsterdam. Today, the dock is no longer purely an industrial area; it is a vibrant location where modern architecture, culture and recreation come together.
Along the dock, you will find iconic buildings such as the Scheepvaartmuseum (Maritime Museum), which tells the history of Dutch seafaring, and the Oosterdokseiland buildings, a modern urban area with offices, hotels and cultural institutions. The Amsterdam Library, with its panoramic roof terrace, also overlooks the dock, giving visitors a beautiful view of the water, the ships and the city.
The Oosterdok is not only a place to look, but also to experience. Walkers and cyclists can enjoy the open water along the quays, watch boats mooring and relax in the many restaurants and cafés. In summer, the dock is often used for events, festivals and temporary exhibitions, turning it into a lively city square on the waterfront.
What makes Oosterdok special is its combination of historical significance and contemporary urban vitality. It is a place where Amsterdammers and visitors come together, where shipping and recreation meet, and where culture and architecture go hand in hand. Whether you are interested in history, urban exploration or simply want to enjoy the view over the water, Oosterdok offers a unique perspective on Amsterdam as a city of water, trade and culture.
