    Venue is an old church, stand on the floor level or go up to the second or third floor & grab a chair. Must have a membership card to come in. 3,50 for one day in addition to the ticket. Free wifi

    Situated in a prominent monumental building, Paradiso has been a hotspot for decades. This is a place you should have been at least once during your stay in Amsterdam! Come early to avoid the line.

    As a concert/gig lover, this is one of the best music venues I visit on a regular basis. Prices are affordable considering how close you stand from the different stages and the view from balconies.

    Its a great place however you need to know the night and who is playing as sometimes the music might not be your taste , come before 12 am. Heniken doesnt taste good from the tap. Venue is great !!

    Amsterdam's finest concert venue. When visiting a concert, don't forget about the membership..

    If you look for a less crowded place inside the main hall: to the left of the light/sound desk there's plenty of space. You can even sit down and still have a nice view.

    Best venue in all of Holland for pop/rock music. It's good for club nights (mostly on thursday). Beautiful church.

    An iconic music venue in an old church. A great place for a night out on weekends or go to one of the concerts that are held here.

    When entering Paradiso, there's probably a huge queue for the cloakroom. Walk around it on the left, enter the small hallway and there you are... In front of the cloakroom!

    It's not cool to admit but I liked this concert venue better than our own pride in Brussels. It's a fantastic room with great view and sound, props to the Dutchies on this one.

    Don't forget to go upstairs!! Good acustic. Most of the times you have to pay a membership fee with the entrance...

    Beautiful historical building, formerly used as a meeting hall for the "Free Congregation", with a former church interior. Now Holland's foremost pop-temple. Two rooms with a wide variety of acts.

    Excellent sound and beautiful architecture, but desperately needs a good ventilation system. It can get extremely hot and stuffy.

    In fact, Paradiso was a church until 1967, which is obvious from the high, church-like windows with their rounded tops, which are typical of churches. Read more

    The best venue with the best atmosphere. The cloakroom waiting line still is a mess after a gig though. Why haven't they fixed this yet??

    An old church, now the most famous club in Amsterdam. You can still notice the church-style architecture out- and inside it.
