Amsterdam’s Dam Square

Dam Square is the historical center of Amsterdam, approximately 0.8km south of the Amsterdam Centraal Station.

It connects with Kalverstraat, the busiest shopping street of Amsterdam. It's named after the kalvermarkt (calves market) that historically took place over there.

Several times a year, such as near Christmas, there is a big funfair on Dam Square. Especially when it's getting dark, it brings a nice warm atmosphere to the place.
