4. Concertgebouw

MUSEUM QUARTER / VONDELPARK.   Said to be the busiest classical music venue in the world (it puts on over 800 concerts a year), this stately neo-classical building dates from 1889 and has an equally grand interior. The crème de la crème of international orchestras and conductors regularly appear in the main auditorium - renowned for its acoustics - while chamber music is performed within the intimate confines of the small upstairs hall. Free-entry concerts, held on Wednesdays from winter through spring, often afford the chance to see a top conductor rehearsing for the evening's performance (queue early: they're popular!), while concert prices are reduced in July and August. Audrey Hepburn owned a season ticket when she lived in Amsterdam and, alongside its classical and world music repertoire, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Dionne Warwick and Frank Zappa have all appeared here.   (© 10Best)
