National Monument on Damsquare - Amsterdam

National Monument on Damsquare

People watching Dam Square Review

Favorite thing: These are some of the best spots for free people watching

Have a seat at our national monument (on pic) on Damsquare. It´s ideal for watching at all the fascinating people that come to Amsterdam and live there. The momument itself is for all Dutch people who died during World War II

If you don´t want to sit on cold stone try the Vondelpark, it´s situated near the Museumsquare. Jog with the locals, try on your skeelers, join in a soccerplay whatever. Also nice with a book and an icecream.

Last but not least is the Museumsquare. Join the crowd, sit back and relax. Once a year in August, there is an open air concert by the Concertgebouw orchestra, one off the best in the world.

Leidsestraat Streetmaps / Cityguides Review

Favorite thing: Leidsestraat is always nice to walk through. Lots of people, shops (shoeshops i noticed recently), and the canals at your right and left.

Fondest memory: It´s good in all seasons realy.
