Dam Square is the pulsing heart of Amsterdam—an open plaza where the Royal Palace faces the National Monument, and tourists, buskers, and pigeons converge beneath the spires of the Nieuwe Kerk. Staying here means you're at the city's geographic and cultural center.
The surrounding streets branch into two worlds: the upscale shopping of Kalverstraat and the narrow alleys of the Red Light District just steps away. Boutique hotels near Dam Square range from canal-house conversions with steep Dutch staircases to sleek design hotels in renovated department stores.
Location is unbeatable. The Anne Frank House is a ten-minute walk along the canals. Central Station—and connections to the airport—is five minutes north. The Jordaan, Nine Streets, and the canal ring are all walkable within fifteen minutes.
Dam Square is Amsterdam at its most exposed—busy, commercial, and sometimes chaotic. But for travelers who want to be in the absolute center of the action with everything radiating outward, no location is more connected.
