Dam Square, Amsterdam

If it’s happening anywhere in Amsterdam, it’ll be happening in Dam Square. It’s the heart of this Dutch city and the place everyone goes to meet up, see and be seen.

This historic square is lined with impressive buildings like the Royal Palace and the Beurs van Berlage. A stone’s throw away in the side streets running off from Dam Square, you’ll find more fascinating attractions then you could visit in a month. From Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Madame Tussaud’s and the Amsterdam Dungeons to more serious locations like the Hash Marijuana and Hemp Museum, it’s all there.

Dam Square is the spot to sit in a pavement cafe and watch the world go by. It’s a sad fact the sides of Dam Square have been bare of chairs and tables for much of 2020 because of Covid-19, but it won’t be long before they’re back and full of happy people spotters again.
