Coworking

I absolutely love Amsterdam—it’s like my second home. I had the incredible opportunity to live and work in the city for four years, creating unforgettable memories, building friendships, and even finding a second family.

Beyond the Stereotypes: Amsterdam’s Thriving Professional Scene

While Amsterdam is often known for its Red Light District, coffee shops, and vibrant nightlife, it is also a highly active and international tech hub. Many global companies have their headquarters here, including Catawiki and Elastic, making it a top destination for tech professionals, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.

Why Working in Amsterdam is Amazing

Amsterdam is a true melting pot of cultures, welcoming people from all over the world. The Dutch work culture is open, innovative, and inclusive, making it easy for expats to feel at home. Plus, the city boasts a large freelance and contractor community, with plenty of coworking spaces designed to support productivity and collaboration.

My Visit to Bouncespace: A Unique Coworking Experience

During my last stay in Amsterdam, I discovered Bouncespace, a unique and creative coworking space. While they don’t typically allow walk-ins, the friendly staff welcomed me and even offered me a workspace as a Koningsdag (King’s Day) gift.

What makes Bouncespace stand out?

• Ground Floor: A barber shop, tattoo studio, and café—yes, you can get a haircut, a tattoo, and a cappuccino all in one place! At first, the mix felt unusual, but I quickly grew to appreciate the vibrant human interactions happening around me.

• First Floor: A mix of workspaces, including a phone booth, communal work tables, and a quiet room where I settled in for deep focus. The silence in the room was perfect for boosting productivity.

Looking for a Great Coworking Space in Amsterdam?

If you’re living in Amsterdam and need a place to concentrate, enjoy great coffee, and perhaps even get a tattoo, I highly recommend Bouncespace. It’s a dynamic, welcoming space that blends creativity, community, and productivity in a way that perfectly captures the spirit of Amsterdam’s work culture.
