Stunning authentic old bar with a great atmosphere, good beer and we had wonderful service too from the friendly and helpful barman Hans. Stay for a drink, not just a photo.

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 ????

‘Een kwartier voor God’ ( a quarter of an hour for God) is written on the sign outside on the very busy ‘Kalverstraat’ in Amsterdam. If you’re not careful you can easily miss it since it’s entrance is not one you would easily notice. A hidden church and indeed an oasis of peace with people who visit services there and some tourists passing by.... its much bigger inside than you would expect and actually crazy this rather big church is hidden so well... a perfect place to light a candle and sit quiet and respectfully to have some profound thoughts..... the nick name of this church is the parrot..... and you will see it inside... you will also find information about its history which is very interesting. No need to say to be respectful, quiet, and to take off that fancy hat...out of respect... I live a stones throw away and come here often. Not because I am a very religious person.... not at all..... but it is so beautifully calm...serene and it is for me the best place in town to pay my respect to the people who are sorely missed .....

The Royal Palace Amsterdam is in use by the Dutch Royal House. Most of the year, the Royal Palace is alsof open for visitors. You are welcome to discover the rich history and interior of this magnificent building in the heart of Amsterdam. Visitors are welcome to discover the building's rich past and legacies left by it's successive occupants - as Amsterdam's Town Hall for 150 years, the French Royal and Imperial Palace for 5 years and the Palace of the House of Orange for the past two centuries. The Royal Palace was built in the seventeenth century as the Town Hall of Amsterdam, after a design by Jacob van Campen. It's paintings and sculptures were made by some of the most distinguished artists of the time and allude to the city's influence and prosperity in the Dutch Golden Age. In 1808 Louis Napoleon, brother of the French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, became King of Holland and converted the Town Hall into a Palace. The superb collection of Empire furniture, clocks and chandeliers date from that period. The collection of Empire furniture is one of the best preserved and most complete collections in the world. The rooms in the Palace are decorated with artworks from the collection of the House of Orange-Nassau Historic Collections Trust. Many paintings show the various members of the family of Orange-Nassau

I would highly recommend you take at least an hour to visit inside. The main hall is quite impressive and worth the entrance ticket itself. Its not super expensive at 10 euros and includes a multi lingual audio set that you can use to get more information. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit here.
