Dam Square, not far from the Central Railway Station, can be said to be the starting point of Amsterdam city center and the most dynamic place in the whole city. It is full of coffee, funny street performers and tourists from all over the world.
Dam Square was originally built at the end of 12, in the north of a dam square on the Amsto River, which is now the old city. Houses in this area used to be shops, and there were inventors of telescopes here. For centuries, Dam Square has been the political and commercial center of the whole city. The former city hall and metering station were stationed here, and political turmoil for various reasons was also held here. However, Dam Square is just a bustling business district where people gather.
The construction of the new town hall in Amsterdam began at 1648. Due to geological reasons, the whole building is supported by more than 13000 wooden stakes, and the classical and magnificent architectural style of the new city hall is still the most conspicuous target in the dam square. 1808 When France occupied the Netherlands, Napoleon chose a new town hall as his residence, and the new town hall was renamed the Palace. In addition, from the Central Railway Station to the Coin Tower, the area around Dam Square is one of the main shopping areas in Amsterdam. All kinds of shops, from large department stores and shopping centers to designers' personal studios or souvenir shops.
