Beautiful building with amazing architecture and history, there's information hubs large screen's and timetables available throughout the station with regular updates on departures and arrivals, the ticket stations are convenient speedy and it's card only payments, a very busy station any time of the day or night so plenty of time is required for people to get around the shopping area also deserves a mention great shopping options ????

Tucked away just off Spui, this delightful collection of houses arranged around an open court is well worth searching out.
Reviewed By EileenMtShasta - Mount Shasta, United States
Definitely worth a quick visit, such a nice and peaceful place with two churches and the oldest house in Amsterdam, from the 1400s (it is the black house right in front of the statue of the Begijn lady). I went as part of Rick Steves free "Amsterdam City Walk" audio guide. Do a search online and download it for free!
4. Amsterdam Gallery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 81 reviews
Located in a passageway between the Kalverstraat and the Begijnhof it is possible to admire 15 substantial paintings. These are portraits of the Amsterdam Civic Guards from the 17th Century. Part of, though not actually in, the Amsterdam Historic Museum, this is probably the only place in the world where paintings are displayed in he open air, with only a glass roof to protect them.
Reviewed By lottyv2018 - Amsterdam, The Netherlands
This is a quick, free, and easy way to get a dose of Dutch history, tradition, and art through the institution of civic guard portraits.

I really enjoyed visiting here - it was truly fascinating to see how the body works, it was interesting to have different elements of the body systems on different floors. Some very interesting exhibitions and interactive pieces to engage in. The staff were helpful, and it was very clean throughout. Really glad that I took time to visit here on my holiday to Amsterdam, a very interesting day trip.

The humble tram is THE way to scoot around Amsterdam - far safer than hiring a bicycle in this bike-crazy city. At least in a tram you're insulated from the bonkers fellow riders, daydreaming pedestrians who step out in front of you etc. There's a choice of ticket - a one-hour pass, a day pass, a two-day, three-day, four-day etc. We stayed four days, and got a two-day, but quickly bought another for the convenience of stepping on and off. You can buy them even in soft drink bottle dispensers. It saves your feet for all the walking you'll do anyway, round streets and galleries. Remember, in Amsterdam you touch in and also touch out on the pad when you use a tram.
