Graffiti Proposal at NDSM

Tour Map
NDSM is located in Amsterdam Noord, across the IJ from the city center. Use the map below to see the area and plan your journey.
The Art and History of NDSM
NDSM takes its name from the former shipyard once based here, Nederlands Dok en Scheepsbouw Maatschappij. Today the old docks and warehouses are covered in murals and street art, including large-scale pieces by well-known artists, giving the area a raw, creative character unlike anywhere else in Amsterdam.
Engagement Photoshoot at NDSM
After the proposal, we continue with photos among the murals, industrial structures and open dockside spaces, giving you a very different set of engagement photos from a typical Amsterdam backdrop.
Getting to NDSM
NDSM sits across the IJ from central Amsterdam and can be reached by a free ferry from behind Centraal Station. It's an easy trip, but it does mean planning a little extra time to get there and back.
How NDSM Compares to Our Other Packages
Where Vondelpark, Keukenhof, Zaanse Schans and a tulip field all lean into greenery and gardens, NDSM offers something entirely different: street art, industrial architecture and a distinctly urban character. It gives your proposal photos a very different look from a typical Amsterdam setting.
