About
The city's founding square, built where the Amstel river was first dammed, is still where Amsterdam gathers for everything from markets to protests, with the Royal Palace's blank classical facade looming over one side. The palace is still a working royal building, open to visitors only on days the King is not using it for state functions. The square is a five minute walk from Centraal Station, an easy first or last stop on any day in the city.
