Internationaal Theater Amsterdam

International Theater Amsterdam (ITA) is located in the heart of the vibrant Leidseplein and is housed in the iconic Stadsschouwburg, one of the most beautiful historical theaters in the Netherlands. Known for the annual Boekenbal and events such as the Gouden Loeki, the Buma Awards, and festivals like Brandhaarden, Lieve Stad,IDFA, and the Holland Festival, this is their home. For over 130 years, it has been the place for grand encounters.

With 13 characterful halls and foyers, ITA can accommodate groups of up to 1,800 guests. Whether it's for an intimate meeting in The Bookshop, stylish dining in the Royal Foyer, a conference in the Great Hall, or a party right on stage: it can all happen here.

Unique in the Netherlands: dine with up to 200 guests or party with 600 guests on stage. Thanks to a special sub-floor, the Great Hall can also transform into an impressive dining venue for 400 people.
