Dam Square in Amsterdam

The Dam is the beating heart of Amsterdam and one of the most visited squares in the Netherlands. Located in the historic center, this square is the backdrop for hundreds of years of history. Here you will find iconic buildings such as the Royal Palace, the New Church, and the imposing National Monument, in memory of the victims of the Second World War.

At the same time, De Dam is also a bustling meeting place full of street performers, tourists, pigeons, and shopping pleasure. On the edge of the square, you will find the famous department stores De Bijenkorf and Magna Plaza, ideal for an afternoon of shopping or just people-watching on a terrace.
