Hotel Paradiso Amsterdam

Paradiso Amsterdam

Paradiso stands on the vibrant Leidseplein square in the heart of Amsterdam. What once served as a church has been the premier venue for pop culture and alternative music since 1968. Paradiso quickly earned the nickname "pop temple" thanks to legendary performances by Pink Floyd, Nirvana, Lady Gaga, David Bowie, and U2.

But Paradiso is much more than just a concert venue. Today, it's a cultural hub where pop, punk, electronic, and alternative music converge. From the hippie culture of the 70s to rave nights, punk rock, and the Rolling Stones' first rock shows in the Netherlands.
