Stadsherstel Amsterdam is a historic venue at Amstelveld 10, beside the canals in Amsterdam. Its concert hall grew from a building once used as Napoleon Bonaparte’s stable, and the space is now used for classical music and art exhibitions. The organ is a focal point, both for its detailed craftsmanship and its sound. Check the programme before you go: the venue may be hosting a concert or exhibition, but it is not a regular walk-in attraction.
