What you'll see
The city's main square, with the Royal Palace on one side, the Nieuwe Kerk beside it, and the white stone column of the National Monument opposite, busy with pigeons, trams and crowds.
A brief history
This is the dam on the river Amstel that gave the city its name; the monument remembers the Dutch who died in the Second World War.
