To give you a taster of what to expect, we already have a provisional programme. But there will be lots of other surprising and no doubt very popular activities added to it. Be sure to keep a close eye on this website, because places are limited. You can already register for several guided tours, a live spectacle at Amsterdam Zuid station and for a meeting with the designers of the future. The programme so far can be found below. For dates, times and locations, see our programme page.
Live: Amsterdam Zuid station construction spectacle
Amsterdam Zuid station is being prepared for the future. This is because the station is bursting at the seams. We are currently hard at work on the regeneration of the station. A second passenger tunnel is also under construction. On Saturday, 14 June 2025, you can gain a sneak preview of the future station. This is the day when the railway platforms will be getting their new platform roofs. They will be hoisted into position using heavy machinery. You can view this impressive work up close, as we explain all about this future public transport hub.
Lecture (in Dutch): Lef en Liefde bij stadsontwikkeling (Love and courage in urban development)
Zuidas is changing. It used to be mainly a business district, but new housing (including social rented housing) and amenities are being developed all the time. At this event, experts will brief you on what Zuidas will look like in the future. The area is becoming increasingly vibrant not only because of all the new residents, but also because Amsterdam Zuid station is being completely regenerated and the A10 diverted underground at this spot. This is all set to take at least ten years. In the meantime, people need to be able to continue to live, travel and work in pleasant circumstances. Find out how the designers are taking this into account and what role sustainability and the climate have to play.
Expedition: Living in Zuidas
Did you know that 10,000 new homes are being developed in Zuidas? There are currently almost 3,000. What type of homes will they be? Who will they be for? You can find out during the Living in Zuidas guided tour. Gain a unique glimpse into the changes that Zuidas is undergoing as it becomes a vibrant, mixed city district with an eye for quality, sustainability and diversity in housing.
Expedition: In the clouds
Anyone who has travelled via Amsterdam Zuid station cannot fail to have noticed the Valley building. Join us as we visit this vertical village and discover why it has won multiple architecture prizes. You will also find out about everything else being built in this neighbourhood.
Expedition: Under the ground
The A10 Zuid is set to go underground. An expert will explain how to build a tunnel more than a kilometre in length right at the heart of Zuidas. And all this is without even closing the existing A10.
Expedition: Zuidas architecture
Discover the fascinating world of modern architecture in Zuidas, a district that is changing into a mixed city district with thousands of homes. During this guided tour, you will visit iconic buildings designed by leading architects, hear the stories behind the designs and find out how urban development, sustainability and aesthetics come together. Perfect for lovers of architecture and urban design.
