The city is intertwined with its waterways, creating a naturally harmonious landscape. The gentleman's canal is the first of the three main canals in the center of Amsterdam. Its fashionable section, called the golden bend (GoldenBend), features many double-width mansions, inner gardens and carriage houses. The emperor canal is the second of the three main canals in the center of Amsterdam, and also the widest one, located between the gentleman canal and the prince canal. It was named after Maximilian I, emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. The prince canal is the third main canal in Amsterdam, and also the longer one. Most buildings along the canal were built during the Dutch Golden Age.

Dam Square

Dam Square is located in the center of Amsterdam and is known as the "navel" of the city. It is an iconic landmark of Amsterdam. A five-minute walk from Amsterdam Central Station along Damrak will bring you to this square, which is bustling with crowds day and night. Historical background Around the 13th century, residents of Amsterdam built a dam along the Amstel River to prevent flooding, which is also the origin of the name Amsterdam. Although the current Dam Square is not large, it has become the central square of Amsterdam. In the past, ordinary people shuttled back and forth here, witnessing various political unrest and demonstrations such as anti-Vietnam War protests. In contrast, while the square is still crowded today, it is filled with a joyful and leisurely atmosphere. The square today Dam Square features various cafes, restaurants, and bars. Due to its prime location, prices are slightly higher, but business is very good, and you often have to wait for a table. Various street performers are also an interesting sight on Dam Square. You can see jugglers performing with long whips, clowns giving passersby a "surprise" from time to time, student bands performing in the open air, and elderly couples performing traditional Dutch folk dances... The chubby pigeons on the square will also gather around to beg for food from time to time. Everything here is full of vitality and joy. Why not order a drink, sit on the stone steps by the square, smell the coffee in the air, enjoy the novel performances of street artists, and feel this joy with the locals. In the spring and fall, the square often hosts various carnivals and themed markets. At that time, the entire Dam Square transforms into a colorful playground. If you happen to be there, be sure to have a great time. Sightseeing nearby The magnificent buildings around Dam Square are also worth seeing. The magnificent blue-roofed building on the west side of the square is the Royal Palace Amsterdam, which is currently used for royal receptions and ceremonies for the inauguration of new monarchs. Adjacent to the palace is the pointed Gothic church, The New Church, which regularly hosts organ concerts and exhibitions. On the south side of the square is the famous Madame Tussauds Amsterdam, from where you can overlook the entire Dam Square through the huge circular glass. On the east side of Dam Square stands the iconic National Monument. This 22m high white tower is guarded by two stone lions to commemorate the soldiers and civilians who died in the World Wars. The area around Dam Square is also a famous commercial district. Large Dutch shopping centers like Magna Plaza, Maison de Bonneterie, and de Bijenkorf(Dam Square) are just a few steps away from Dam Square. In addition, many buses and trams have stops at Dam Square, and it is very convenient to walk to the main attractions in the city from here. At night, Dam Square is brightly lit, presenting another lively scene.Amsterdam · 42.4km from Lelystad

Golden Age Masterpieces in Amsterdam guide visitors through the zenith of Dutch art and beyond. The Rijksmuseum's halls glow with works by Rembrandt and Vermeer, narrating stories of the 17th century. The Van Gogh Museum offers an intimate look at the artist's turbulent genius. These visits are journeys through contrasting yet interconnected chapters of creativity—from detailed realism to bold post-impressionism. The city's museum landscape provides a comprehensive, deeply moving exploration of artistic innovation and human expression.Netherlands · Amsterdam

Dam Square was originally built at the end of the 12th century. The north of the Dam Square on the Amstor River is now the Old Town. The houses in this area used to be shops and were very lively. A celebrity was also born here - Zacharias Jansen, the inventor of the telescope.
