  • Beyond Noord

    Daytrips around Noord

  • Knowing your way around

    Noord residents are avid users of the Canta: a motorbike on four wheels, or rather a bumper car. It fits one and a half people, but that doesn’t stop people from sitting in it together. It was...

  • Posters & Subculture

    The style of Amsterdam Noord, as shown by the palette of posters circulating throughout the district. What’s going on in Amsterdam Noord and within what subcultures? We’ve scoured the whole of Noord...

  • Amsterdam Noord and the dream of the malleable…

    From social to spatial engineering

    For a long time Amsterdam served as a container for everything unwanted. From the early gallows to the trailer camps, and from the polluting chemical and shipping industry to the surplus of urban...

  • Bus

    If your final destination is situated in the heart of Noord, it’s best to travel by bus. To travel by bus, you must purchase a public transport chip card (or ‘OV-chipkaart’ in Dutch), or buy a single...

  • Silent Spots in Noord

    According to the residents, these are the silent spots of Amsterdam-Noord. Bear in mind that if you go there, the place will become less silent. That perhaps is the paradox of silence: if we seek it...

  • Thank you

    Everyone who helped put Noord on the map

    Our project team, the artists and designers, sponsors, friends, Noorderlingen and other informers.

  • Waterland, Monnickendam and Marken

  • Infographic Amsterdam - Noord

  • Gay in Noord

    The social acceptance of homosexuality in Noord is similar to the rest of the Netherlands. Noorderners are generally tolerant to gays, so holding hands in public is fine.

  • Noord

    Exhibition and travel guide

    Together with 22 local and international artists, Mediamatic mapped Amsterdam-Noord. This resulted in an exhibition, and in the first Arabic travel guide to The Netherlands.

  • Playing in Nature

    Playing in green is possible at the Vliegenbos forrest and the Florapark (called ‘Noorderpark’ from 2011 onwards). The park is still being altered, but the delivered parts are looking promising and...

    For all your rentals in transportation.

  • Green Noord

    Noord has a widespread rural area, practically unchanged in the last 400 years. Even today, the peat fields are still tilled by farmers. This has left the Waterland part of Noord with a bunch of...

    Part of the Noord project.

    During the summer of 2010 Malak Helmy got her feet wet with some of Noord's best synchronized swimmers. The result? A beautiful, poetic video installation about Noord and about living as an...

  • The Beach

    A day trip to the beach can be made at any given moment, even when the weather stays bad all day. Because the beach is great for sun bathing, but also good to watch the stormy sea from under the...
