The hydraulic swing juts out over the A'DAM's edge

Daring visitors are being encouraged to take a ride on Europe's highest swing – the 100m (328ft) A'DAM Tower which has been built in Amsterdam.

Dubbed ‘OverTheEdge’, the hydraulic-powered creation by Dutch design agency NorthernLight swings out from the A’DAM’s observation deck, offering an unrivalled experience combined with panoramic views of Amsterdam.

As part of the wider observation deck, NorthernLight has installed a series of visitor experiences, including an AV exhibition about Amsterdam, a mapped projection city model, a series of virtual reality touch screens and an elevator ride incorporated as its own experience.

The tower also features several restaurants, a club and a hotel, as well as the offices of companies within the music industry. Since opening in May, A’DAM has attracted more than 100,000 visitors to its observation deck.
