Amsterdam Centraal Station

Highlight • Monument

If you arrive at the Amsterdam train station by train, you should definitely look around there. The building itself, designed by Pierre Cuypers (the architect of the Rijksmuseum) and opened in 1889, is one of the city's most iconic buildings.

Papiermolensluis Bridge at Brouwersgracht and Prinsengracht

Highlight • Bridge

Papiermolensluis is a stone bridge that spans one of the canals. It is probably one of the most photographed landmarks as the layout of the houses in the background and the canal in the foreground perfectly capture the 'atmosphere' and architecture of Amsterdam.

Westerkerk and the Anne Frank House, Amsterdam

Highlight • Historical Site

Who has not heard or read about her? Here Anne Frank was in her hiding place for years.
Today there is a museum where you can see in what modest conditions
Anne had to live with her family.

Herengracht

Highlight • River

Established in 1612, the Herengracht is one of three major canals in central Amsterdam. With its beautiful Golden Bend stretch, stately mansions and interior gardens, it has long been one of the trendiest spots in the city. To this day, many of the most chic places to live in the Dutch capital are located along this canal.

The Waag, Nieuwmarkt, Amsterdam

Highlight • Historical Site

The Nieuwmarkt is a square in the center of Amsterdam, between Geldersekade and Kloveniersburgwal. It borders the Zeedijk to the north and the Sint Antoniesbreestraat to the south and forms the center of the Nieuwmarktbuurt.

The monumental Waag is central. Around the square there are monumental buildings, many restaurants, a supermarket and the De Flesseman senior citizens' residence.

There is a daily market in the summer months, an organic market on Saturdays and an antiques, curiosity and book market on Sundays. In spring, in the week before King's Day, there is the “April Festival” with a neighborhood breakfast and nostalgic fair with carousel, mirror tent and children's theater.

The Nieuwmarkt borders the red light district, Chinatown and Lastage. Since the Nieuwmarkt area, especially on the Zeedijk, has many Chinese residents and businesses, the street signs in this area are in both Dutch and Chinese characters.

The eye-catcher on the square is the scale. All around are buildings, almost all of which are designated as national or city monuments. However, some are now missing. The demolition of many houses for the construction of the tunnel of the south-east line of the Amsterdam Metro in the Lastage (between Geldersekade and Oudeschans) led to the 1975 Nieuwmarkt riots under the motto “No tubes, but houses”. The plan to build a motorway from the Wibautstraat and Weesperstraat via the Nieuwmarktbuurt to the Prins Hendrikkade and on to the Haarlemmer Houttuinen also met with violent protests. In the Nieuwmarkt underground station, works of art are a reminder of this time. The southeast side of the square fell victim; several buildings there were demolished.

Dam Square

Highlight • Monument

Dam Square is without doubt the most famous and most popular square in the city. Here Rokin, Damrak and Kalverstraat converge. The dam was built in the late 13th century to protect the city from flooding. From the square you can see historic buildings such as the Royal Palace, the Nieuwe Kerk and the Bijenkorf, the wax museum Madame Tussauds and the National Monument.

From Groenlo / Lievelde or Winterswijk in NL you can travel super cheaply with a group ticket with up to 7 people by train for under €50 in about 2.5 hours to Amsterdam.

We started this tour on foot. To rest we took a boat to go on a canal cruise. We then walked a few more meters so that we could at least complete the loop on foot. About a third was a boat trip.

Big tour through the Dutch city of Amsterdam, a very beautiful city with many beautiful canals and many old houses. The view from the Adam Lookout is definitely worth it. The weather was great ☀️☀️, but a bit chilly.

Took a day trip to Amsterdam today. Of course, it's easy to take the train into the city, since parking by car is hardly worth it. Arrived first made a canal cruise and then the canal district on foot. expired. It was scary crowded but it was still a beautiful day.
