Amsterdam Free Ferry Terminal

Highlight • Rest Area

Depending on the route, the ferry journeys take between 5 and 14 minutes and the view from the boats over the water and the other bank is wonderful. Just do it like the Amsterdam locals who take the ferry back and forth between the banks all day as a matter of course:
When the weather is nice, let the breeze blow around your nose or make yourself comfortable inside the ferry when it rains. Riding on the free ferry is definitely part of the real Amsterdam feeling!

Amsterdam Centraal Station

Highlight • Monument

If you arrive at the Amsterdam train station by train, you should definitely look around there. The building itself, designed by Pierre Cuypers (the architect of the Rijksmuseum) and opened in 1889, is one of the city's most iconic buildings.

Dam Square

Highlight • Monument

Dam Square is without doubt the most famous and most popular square in the city. Here Rokin, Damrak and Kalverstraat converge. The dam was built in the late 13th century to protect the city from flooding. From the square you can see historic buildings such as the Royal Palace, the Nieuwe Kerk and the Bijenkorf, the wax museum Madame Tussauds and the National Monument.

Damrak Canal, Amsterdam

Highlight • River

The Damrak is the original estuary of the Amstel River—a straight stretch of water. The river flowed into the IJ from a lock in the Dam. In the 19th century, the canal was filled in, except for the canal boat moorings on the west side, and now serves as a harbor.

The gabled houses bordering the water are among the most picturesque in the city.

Damrak is also the name of the adjacent street, which resembles a giant flypaper basket and awaits visitors arriving at the central station with cheap tourist hotels, fast-food restaurants, and souvenir shops.

Dam tot Dam Walk ✅
Yes, the five of us walked this 21st edition! ☀️ A great atmosphere, lovely sunshine, and plenty of miles under our belts. Just as we reached the finish line… the first raindrops fell. Perfect timing 😅.
