Erotic massages in Amsterdam after a festival or a show across the IJ in Noord
Across the water from Centraal Station, the old shipyards and warehouses of Noord host festivals, markets, concerts and club nights. Getting there is a free ferry ride; getting back at the end of an event is where an evening booking needs a little thought.
Noord used to be the side of the city visitors never saw. Today the wharf and the hangars on the far bank of the IJ are among the livelier event spaces in town, with a flea market in the halls on some weekends, festivals on the quays in summer and club nights through the dance event in October. For a visitor staying in the centre, the evening ends with a crossing, and the crossing sets the timing of everything after it.
The ferry is the timetable
The ferries across the IJ are free and run often through the evening, but the longer crossing to the old shipyard keeps its own timetable late at night, and the queue on the quay after a big event can mean waiting for a later boat. Look up the return sailings before the evening begins, and assume you will not catch the first boat after the last act.
Write from the quay or from the boat
For a same-day booking, the useful moment to write is once you are on the quay or aboard the ferry. The crossing and the walk from the station to most hotels in the centre then overlap with her arrival window of forty to sixty minutes from confirmation. Writing from inside the venue, with no idea how long the quay will take, tends to leave her waiting at a door you have not yet reached.
If you are staying in Noord
Hotels and rentals have spread across Noord in recent years, and some festival visitors sleep on that side of the water. The arrival window is described for the central districts named on this site, and Noord is not among them, so give the address in the first message and the reply will explain what the journey across involves before an hour is fixed.
Back in the centre
From the ferry landing behind the station, hotels around Dam Square, the old centre and the canal ring are a short walk. Those further south, in Oud-Zuid or De Pijp, need the metro or a tram on top of the crossing, so add that to the margin if you fixed an hour in advance. The guide to the evening after the main event shows how to count backwards from the end of a show.
The date and the deposit
Most event nights in Noord are ordinary dates, so a returning guest's same-day hour or two at a city address is paid at the door. During the dance event in October the nights are peak, with half ahead on every booking, and the ADE page covers that week. A first booking with the house sends half first on any date, as the deposit note explains.
