As you approach the bustling Leidseplein, your eye immediately catches the impressive building with its distinctive orangey colour and elegant white facades. Originally known as the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam, this magnificent building is a true icon on the square. Opened in 1894, the theatre has a rich history of theatre productions and cultural events.
Today, the building is known as Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (ITA) and offers a wide range of breathtaking performances and shows, presented by the renowned Toneelgroep Amsterdam. As a cultural lover, a visit to ITA is an absolute must during your stay in Amsterdam. Make sure you check ITA's website before you head to the city to find out which special shows will be staged during your visit.
