Amsterdam's Centraal Station dates from the year 1889, when it was first used for the transport of goods. It was designed by the architect P.J.H. Cuypers - well known in his time, who also designed the Rijksmuseum. The building's foundation consists of 8,687 wooden piles, because of the wetlands around 't IJ. The original construction has been rebuilt more than once, due to rapidly expanding traffic and rail transport.

War Memorial |
In Old City Amsterdam 1012 JS Netherlands +31 (0)20 201 8800 (Tourist Information Centre) |
In the 13th Century the river Amstel was dammed here and on the banks of the river a small fishing community was founded, called Amstelredam. Boats could unload their freight here and alongside the Damrak. When the Nieuwe Kerk was rebuilt and the Royal Palace (originally the town hall) built, the enclosed square served as the city centre, both socially and for administrative purposes. The city was governed and law and order maintained from here, as can be seen in pictures of public executions on a scaffold in front of the town hall. After WWII, the War Memorial was erected on another square on the Dam, which is now a gathering place for thousands of people and numerous pigeons. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Amsterdam Netherlands |
Built in 1612 during the expansion of the city, the Jordaan neighbourhood is well known all over the country for its specific street life, corny songs, sarcastic humour and working-class mentality. But this is mere nostalgia. Most of the Jordanezen (the native inhabitants) left some years ago for improved housing in neighbouring cities like Almere and Purmerend. Nowadays, it is a district with a lot of students and young urban professionals. The Jordaan accommodates many bars and cosy restaurants and is like a village in the big city. It is located between Brouwersgracht, Prinsengracht, Raamstraat, and Marnixstraat. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 147 Amsterdam 1012 RJ Netherlands +31 (0)20 320 4060 http://www.koninklijkhuis.nl/e... info@dkh.nl |
In the mid-17th Century the painter Jacob van Campen was given the assignment to design a new town hall. The city council wanted a grand symbol for their leading role in Europe at that time - Holland's Golden Age, as well as economic and civic power. The building had to make this clear for everyone to see. The town hall became the biggest in Europe. In 1808 the building was 'transformed' into a Royal Palace by the brother of Napoleon Bonaparte, Louis, king of the region during the French occupation. Nowadays, it is still a royal residence. The Dutch royal family, the Oranje-Nassau's, receive royalty and dignitaries at the palace. The new king or queen also present themselves to the citizens of the Netherlands from the balcony of the palace. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Amsterdam Netherlands |
The Leidseplein is very crowded both by day and by night. When the sun is shining the terraces are quickly filled. Street performers entertain the public, mainly consisting of tourists, with acrobatic acts and music. At night the public changes: Amsterdammers go out here to celebrate their weekend, to visit the theatres, cinemas, and clubs. The bars and clubs, such as Escape, close here after 5am. And next morning, only a few hours later, it starts all over again: the first tourists settle down on the terraces. Review © 2007, Wcities |
