Amsterdam Velodrome, velodrome in Amsterdam, Netherlands
The vélodrome d'Amsterdam is a cycling stadium in the city with a smooth, oval track built for racing and training. The space is open and bright, with seating arranged around the track so spectators can watch races and events from various angles.
The first cycling track was built in the 1930s and has hosted competitions ever since. It was rebuilt in 2001 into a modern structure with a 200-meter track, improving facilities for both riders and spectators.
The cycling stadium carries the name of a sport that runs through Amsterdam's daily life. Locals and visitors gather here as part of a community centered on two-wheeled racing, where club members train together and support one another in a welcoming space dedicated to the discipline.
The location is easy to reach by bike or public transport and sits near other sports facilities. The building has changing rooms and spectator seating, with small stands where you can buy drinks or snacks during events.
The most famous race held here is the six-day race, which runs continuously for six days straight. Teams of two riders take turns, racing day and night around the track while fans watch through the entire extended competition.
