Amsterdam City Theatre

Amsterdam City Theatre is located on Leidseplein in Amsterdam. Established in 1894, it features a Neo-Renaissance architectural style and is one of the most influential theatres in Amsterdam. The theatre’s beautiful entrance, grand staircase, velvet-red carpet, golden chandeliers, and ornate murals transport you into a fairy-tale world, evoking the splendor of the 19th century.

The Amsterdam City Theatre is especially enchanting at night, glowing even more magnificently under the lights like a splendid castle waiting to be explored. Its horseshoe-shaped auditorium can accommodate 1,200 spectators for performances. International shows are staged here, along with traditional and contemporary plays and dance performances, and sometimes even ballet. The theatre is open year-round, with shows typically starting at 8 PM. If you’re in Amsterdam, be sure to visit the City Theatre to experience authentic Dutch drama—it’s truly captivating.
