This is one of the key venues part of Amsterdam 2.0. There was a brief downer in the Dutch capital after Studio 80 and Trouw closed, but the city bounced back with a spate of new openings. Multi-milllion euro venture Shelter was one of those - launching in the week of the Amsterdam Dance Event in October 2016 - and quickly became one of the most popular spots for ravers. As with Trouw and Studio 80 before it, it can stay open for as long as it likes thanks to Amsterdam's status as a 24-hour city. As the name suggests, the 800-capacity club is underground, the entrance a set of steps that are hidden by a hatch outside of opening hours. "We are literally underground, so that’s one of the coolest features for sure,” Milan Van Ooijen told us last year. Inside, the walls are sleek, a mostly concrete finish give it a modernistic edge and a Funktion One Soundsystem ensures the music is delivered in the crispest form possible. As well as hosting its own nights throughout the year, it opens its doors for Dekmantel Festival in August. Get on that plane to Amsterdam and take Shelter.
