Nes Centre apartment Amsterdam

Nes
Amsterdam
1012KE

The apartment lies next to the very famous Dam Square. Its name derives from its original function: a dam on the Amstel River, hence also the name of the city. Built in approximately 1270, the dam was the first connection between the settlements on both sides of the river. The Damrak, or the former mouth of the Amstel River, was partially filled and since then the Dam Square has been surrounded by land on all sides. Besides the Gothic beauty that stands next to the Koninklijk Paleis, the 15th-century Nieuwe Kerk, which now functions as an exhibition space, you will find food stalls, restaurants and shops, including the trendy Bijenkorf, the Magna Plaza, the Bonneterie and the Amsterdam Diamond centre. But without a doubt the Koninklijk Paleis (Royal Palace) is the jewel of the crown. The little streets that cross these canals are fantastic for shopping, having great lunches and enjoying the typically Amsterdam cafés and what else is there to say about the many bars and clubs in the city centre..! The Anne Frank house is only a fifteen minute walk and the lovely Jordaan area is reachable within a five minute walk. So is the famous Red Light District and it is just a ten minute walk to the Central Station. It's very easy to find means of public transport, specially trams. But then again, you are in a privilege position to access the endless display of hot spots around town. Art museums, theatre and architecture are all part of the Amsterdam scene and simply walking through the colourful neighbourhoods offers an exceptional cultural experience.
