BIMHUIS

Jazz club

It's probably the country's most famous jazz venue, and rightly so. It is now housed in the modern quarters near the central station. The atmosphere is quite unique, between land and sea. The program is excellent, and big names perform here regularly. The different venues offer a variety of programs, including experimental and children's shows. A bar-restaurant is on site for an excellent evening out! A true reference in the capital since 1974!

An address we warmly recommend, and not to be missed on your visit!

It's a tried-and-tested venue, so don't hesitate if you like smaller venues with a warm ambience.
