In Amsterdam, the Over the Edge swing, the highest in Europe at more than 300 feet off the ground, opened in August 2016 on the Lookout observation deck atop the A’DAM Tower (Overhoeksplein 5, 1031 KS, Amsterdam, Netherlands; phone +31 20 242 01 00, www.adamlookout.com)

Each swing holds two riders and takes them over the edge of the building, with views of the city under their feet.

Open daily, 10:30 a.m.-9 p.m. An observation deck ticket costs 12.50 (near $13.40). An Over the Edge ride costs an additional 5. The Lookout deck also contains the Madam restaurant, reached by an elevator that climbs 20 floors in 22 seconds.
