    Dam Square: The Dam

    This is the main square in Amsterdam and (someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this) I believe that this is where the first brick of the city were laid or something. You can take a picture of yourself feeding the pidgeons and the Royal Palace overlooks this square. Also note the Nationaal Monument. This symbolises human suffering during war and it has become a popular meeting place.

    Dam Square: Walking around the Dam Square...

    Walking around the Dam Square area is a must. You don't need a plan of things to see, except the vibrant life surrounding you. The bicycles, the tram's, the street performers...an awesome experience.
    As the unoffical 'sex capital' of Europe, most people flock to the Red Light District to see such overt sexuality. However, I have a theory that the whole city is one big tribute to our libido's. Evidence: at the Dam Square, oppisite the Church, there is a huge obelisk that is, well, phallic. In addition, there are all of these street posts about a meter high lining all of the streets that are, well, phallic also. heck, even the official logo of the city has an 'XXX' in it.

    Dam Square
    Lots too see! War memorial, bars, street entertainers, Koninklijk Paleis, Maddam Tussauds. The heart of Amsterdam. Only streets away is the Red Light District as well as endless numbers of shops, restaurants and bars.

    The best I can describe Dam Square is "Die gezoem van die bye" It is a madhouse of people milling about, trams, bicycles and pedestrians all competing for space.
