About
The square that gave Amsterdam its name, built around the original dam on the Amstel river and still the city's default meeting point. The white National Monument steps double as an amphitheatre for whoever shows up with a speaker or an instrument, flanked by the Royal Palace on one side and the Nieuwe Kerk on the other. It is a crossing point more than a destination, most people pass through several times a day without planning to.
