Dam Square is the historic and symbolic heart of Amsterdam, located just a short walk from Central Station. It has been the city’s central gathering place for centuries, originally formed in the 13th century when a dam was built on the Amstel River—hence the city’s name: Amster-dam.
Today, Dam Square is surrounded by some of Amsterdam’s most iconic landmarks. The majestic Royal Palace (Koninklijk Paleis) stands at its center, once used as a city hall and now serving as a ceremonial residence for the Dutch royal family. Beside it is the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), a Gothic masterpiece often used for royal ceremonies and exhibitions. The square also features the National Monument, a solemn obelisk commemorating the victims of World War II.
Bustling with street performers, tourists, and locals, Dam Square is also home to department stores like De Bijenkorf, lively cafes, and frequent public events. Whether you're soaking in the architecture, people-watching, or joining a walking tour, Dam Square offers a vivid snapshot of both historical and modern Amsterdam.
