Dam Square is the most famous square in Amsterdam and forms the historic heart of the city. It originated in the 13th century when a dam was built in the Amstel River. Since then, it has developed into Amsterdam’s central gathering point, where history, culture, and urban life converge.

The square is home to iconic landmarks such as the Royal Palace, the Nieuwe Kerk, and the National Monument, which commemorates the victims of World War II. Every year on May 4, the National Remembrance ceremony takes place here.

Dam Square is lively, with street performers, pigeons, events, and visitors from around the world. It is surrounded by major department stores, shops, cafés, and museums. No visit to Amsterdam is complete without seeing Dam Square.
