Surrounding

ArenA Boulevard

Ever since the Amsterdam ArenA opened in August 1996, the Amsterdam Zuidoost Centre has been developing rapidly. A great deal of work has been put into creating a new town centre in the Netherlands: the ArenA Boulevard. Look around and you will see that a new part of the city, including a breathtaking skyline, has in fact risen around the Amsterdam ArenA.

The Neighbours

The boulevard is defined by the ArenA's neighbours, namely the Pathé ArenA multiplex, the Heineken Music Hall, a variety of megastores, the Villa ArenA home furnishing shopping centre, high rise office buildings, cafés and restaurants. Together with the renewal of the Bijlmermeer neighbourhood, the development of the ArenA Boulevard is one of Amsterdam's most ambitious projects to day.

Future

Cranes and scaffolding will continue to provide the decor up until 2010 at the earliest. In 2008, the new Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA train, metro and bus station was opened and connects the ArenA areas with the renewed Bijlmermeer neighbourhood and shopping centre 'De Amsterdamse Poort'.

More information

The ArenA Boulevard has all the ingredients of a place to be. Here, you can work, shop, live and go out. Plus, it's so easy to reach by car and public transportation, and there is plenty of parking and easy to follow signs in and around the ArenA area. The ArenA Boulevard is set to become a dazzling hot spot where sports, entertainment, culture and events will attract millions every year. For more information: http://www.arena-boulevard.nl/

Shopping

A certain “united diversity" typifies the ArenA Boulevard as a shopping and entertainment district, with each shop and retail setting having its own distinctive place. You will find the following shops on the ArenA Boulevard: Megastore Mediamarkt, Megastore Perrysport, Megastore Prenatal, Megastore Decathlon and Woonmall Villa ArenA.

Entertainment

The ArenA Boulevard is appealing not only for the shopping, but also the variety of entertainment on offer: cinema Pathe ArenA, Heineken Music Hall and Living Tomorrow.

Food and Drink

The boulevard boasts a variety of restaurants and cafes where you can have a bite or a drink before an event. Even if there isn't anything scheduled in the Amsterdam ArenA, you are more than welcome at the Grolsch CineCafe, Grolsch MusicCafe, Jinso, Amstel Corner, Febo, Villa Don and Bakerstreet.
