Space Tourist Amsterdam: Discover where the space industry happens

- October 12, 2025
Location: Amsterdam
Organising party: Crunch & Huntening

Space Tourist Amsterdam is a self-guided audio tour for curious minds who want to see the city through a different lens: the lens of todayโ€™s space industry.

While NL Space Week brings open doors and public events, this tour fills in the gaps: it guides you past the buildings and campuses where satellites technology is being built, missions are coordinated, and the future of space is being shaped – right here in Amsterdam.

Along the way, youโ€™ll uncover the surprising diversity of space careers; not just engineers and scientists, but also artists, designers, and start-ups shaping how we think about life on and beyond Earth. Youโ€™ll encounter space-inspired art, fueled by bold thoughts that ring true today as much as they did when the space era began.

You wonโ€™t go inside these places, but youโ€™ll get something just as valuable: a deeper understanding of where space gets real in this city. Piece by piece, youโ€™ll build a new mental map of Amsterdam. One that most locals don’t even know exists!

Take your time, and connect the dots between space, science, and the streets you thought you knew. All stops are connected by public transport, and the tour runs on your schedule.

Because space isnโ€™t just out there. Itโ€™s right here โ€” if you know where to look.

 

When and where

Space Tourist Amsterdam is available every day during NL Space Week. No need to book, no need to wait. Just download the tour on VoiceMap, plug in your headphones, and let the audio guide lead the way. No screen-staring required; your ears do the navigating.

The full tour takes about 2 hours and 15 minutes and weaves through the city using buses, trams, and metro – rain or shine, youโ€™ll explore Amsterdamโ€™s space scene comfortably via public transport.

Hop on, tune in, and uncover the places where space really happens.
