Please be aware that construction is still in progress around Amare on Spuiplein. Amare does not have parking spaces for the disabled.
Doors open 1 hour before the concert starts unless otherwise stated. As Amare is a large building, we recommend you arrive well in advance.

Brasserie Amare, located on the ground floor near the Spui entrance, also offers coffee, lunch and dinner. Brasserie Amare uses organic and local ingredients as much as possible, serves global cuisine and offers a special pre-theatre menu.
We have no dress code, so wear what you want for a special night out! Amare is ventilated with air from outside. This contributes to the green goals of the building. As a result, it may feel slightly chilly in the building. We ask that you take this into consideration when choosing clothing.
A Starter will take place prior to Symphonic Friday and Sunday Matinee . The Starter is a lively preliminary program full of live performances by our own musicians and interviews with soloists and conductors. Before or after the Family Concerts, you can again honk, ping and drum along with the musicians of the orchestra in the Instrument Garden.
The Instrument Garden is open one hour before or after the concert and takes place in Foyer 2 (Tango). The Starter begins 45 minutes before the concert in the Swing or on the Grandstand Steps (both across from cloakroom). Both are free of charge.
