About This Area
DAM SQUARE
This square, originally built as a dam in the Amstel River, is the heart of Amsterdam. Most roads in the old city center lead here, the canal belt is built as a semi-circle around it. You’ll find the Royal Palace and the National Monument, and it marks the beginning of Kalverstraat, the city’s largest shopping street. It can get really busy here.
