Daytrips Outside Amsterdam: Zaanse Schans
  • Tip Rating:
  • Zaanse Schans is where you'll see the beautiful windmill-studded countryside.

    There's a row of Windmills along the village on the banks of the Zaan river..

    It is about 16km northwest of the city and just north of the town of Zaandam.. The village also has historic little wooden houses, many of them restored as private homes.

    Concertgebouw: Concertgebouw
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • "There's a rock show at the Concertgebouw...."

    The world famous Concertgebouw has been filled with the strains of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra as well as visiting international stars since the turn of the centure.

    Easily recognizable as it's topped with a Lyre..

    There are no tours of the building, so if you want to see beyond the lobby, you'll have to buy a ticket for a concert.

    Dam Square: Dam Square
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is the official center of town.

    The picture denotes the National Palace in the background and the National Monument to celebrate the liberation of the Netherlands at the end of WW2.

    Interesting trivia tidbit: The road from the Dam to Centraal Station used to be a canal where the boats would be able to sail up to the weigh house.. The weigh house was demolished in 1808 because it spoiled King Napoleon's view from his palace window across the way.
