Amsterdam is a small city, and, although the concentric canal
system can be initially confusing, finding your bearings is
straightforward. The medieval core boasts the best of the
city's bustling streetlife and is home to shops, many bars and
restaurants, fanning south from the nineteenth-century
Centraal Station , one of Amsterdam's most resonant landmarks
and a focal point for urban life. Come summer there's no
livelier part of the city, as street performers compete for
attention with the trams that converge dangerously from all
sides. From here, Damrak storms into the heart of the city, an
unenticing avenue lined with overpriced restaurants and
bobbing canal boats, and flanked on the left first by the
Beurs , designed at the turn of the twentieth century by the
leading light of the Dutch modern movement, H.P. Berlage, and
then by the enormous De Bijenkorf department store.
To the left off Damrak, the infamous red-light district ,
stretching across two canals - Oudezijds (abbreviated to O.Z.)
Voorburgwal and O.Z. Achterburgwal - is one of the real sights
of the city, thronged in high season with visitors keen to
discover just how shocking it all is. Though seamy and seedy,
the legalized prostitution on flagrant display here is
world-renowned. The two canals, with their narrow connecting
passages, are thronged with neon-lit "window brothels", and at
busy times the crass on-street haggling over the price of
various sex acts is drowned out by a surprisingly festive
atmosphere.
Just behind the Beurs off Warmoesstraat, the precincts of the
Oude Kerk (Mon-Sat 11am-5pm, Sun 1-5pm; ?3.60; www.oudekerk.nl
) offer a reverential peace after the excesses of the
red-light district; it's a bare, mostly fourteenth-century
church with some beautifully carved misericords in the choir
and the memorial tablet of Rembrandt's first wife, Saskia van
Uylenburg. Nearby, the Amstelkring , at the northern end of
Oudezijds Voorburgwal, was once the principal Catholic place
of worship in the city and is now a museum (Mon-Sat 10am-5pm,
Sun 1-5pm; ?4.50) commemorating the days when Catholics had to
confine their worship to the privacy of their homes. Known as
"Our Dear Lord in the Attic", it occupies the loft of a
wealthy merchant's house, together with those of two smaller
houses behind it. Just beyond, Zeedijk , once haunt of
Amsterdam's drug dealers, leads through to the open Nieuwmarkt
, where the turreted Waag was originally part of the city's
fortifications, later becoming the civic weigh-house.
Kloveniersburgwal , which leads south, was the outer of the
three eastern canals of sixteenth-century Amsterdam and
boasts, on the left, one of the city's most impressive canal
houses, built for the Trip family in 1662. Further up on the
right, the Oudemanhuispoort passage, once part of an
almshouse, is now filled with secondhand bookstalls.
At the southern end of Damrak, the Dam (or Dam Square), where
the Amstel was first dammed, is the centre of the city, its
tusk-like War Memorial serving as a meeting place for
tourists. On the western side, the Royal Palace (June-Oct
daily 11am-5pm; Nov-May opening hours variable; ?4.30;
www.kon-paleisamsterdam.nl ) was originally built as the city
hall in the mid-seventeenth century. It received its royal
monicker in 1808 when Napoleon's brother Louis commandeered it
as the one building fit for a king. He was forced to abdicate
in 1810, leaving behind a sizeable amount of the Empire
furniture. Vying for importance is the adjacent Nieuwe Kerk
(open only during exhibitions; www.nieuwekerk.nl ), a
fifteenth-century structure rebuilt several times, which is
now used only for exhibitions and state occasions. Inside rest
numerous names from Dutch history, among them the
seventeenth-century naval hero Admiral de Ruyter, who lies in
an opulent tomb in the choir, and the poet Vondel,
commemorated by a small urn near the entrance.
South of Dam Square, Rokin follows the old course of the
Amstel River, lined with grandiose nineteenth-century
mansions. Running parallel, Kalverstraat is a monotonous strip
of clothes shops, halfway down which, at no. 92, a gateway
forms the entrance to the former orphanage that's now the
Amsterdam Historical Museum (Mon-Fri 10am-5pm, Sat & Sun
1-5pm; ?6.10; www.ahm.nl ), where artefacts, paintings and
documents survey the city's development from the thirteenth
century. Directly outside, the glassed-in Civic Guard Gallery
draws passers-by with free glimpses of the large company
portraits. Just around the corner, off Sint Luciensteeg, the
Begijnhof is a small court of seventeenth-century buildings;
the poor and elderly led a religious life here, celebrating
Mass in their own, concealed, Catholic Church. The plain and
unadorned English Reformed Church, which takes up one side of
the Begijnhof, has pulpit panels designed by the young Piet
Mondriaan. Close by, the Spui (pronounced spow ) is a lively
corner of town whose mixture of bookshops and packed bars
centres around a cloying statue of a young boy known as 't
Lieverdje (Little Darling). In the opposite direction,
Kalverstraat comes to an end at Muntplein and the Munttoren -
originally a mint and part of the city walls, topped with a
spire by Hendrik de Keyser in 1620. Across the Singel canal is
the fragrant daily Flower Market , while in the other
direction Reguliersbreestraat turns left towards the loud
restaurants of Rembrandtplein . To the south is
Reguliersgracht, an appealing canal with seven distinctive
steep bridges stretching in a perspectival line from
Thorbeckeplein.

Schiphol airport (
www.schiphol.nl ) is connected by train with the main Centraal Station (every
15min; hourly at night). Centraal Station is at the hub of all bus and tram
routes and just five minutes' walk from central Dam Square. International buses
arrive at Amstel Station, ten minutes south of Centraal Station by metro. For
information , the main VVV is outside Centraal Station, Stationsplein 10 (daily
9am-5pm; tel 0900/400 4040, www.visitamsterdam.nl ); there's another branch
inside the station (Mon-Sat 8am-8pm, Sun 9am-5pm), a smaller kiosk on the
Leidseplein corner of Leidsestraat (daily 9am-5pm, Thurs-Sat closes 7pm), and an
office in the airport (daily 7am-10pm). Any of these can sell you a map, book
accommodation and provide answers to most enquiries, though summer queues can be
a nightmare; they can also sell you an Amsterdam Culture & Leisure Pass (?29),
which gives free or reduced entry to a selection of major attractions as well as
free public transport for three days and discounts at some restaurants. The
VVV's monthly listings guide, Day to Day , costs ?1. Infopocket Amsterdam ,
written in four languages, costs ?3 and contains photographs and practical
information about the city.
The excellent network of trams , buses and the small metro (all daily
6/7am-midnight) isn't expensive. The GVB public transport office in front of
Centraal Station (Mon-Fri 7am-9pm, Sat & Sun 8am-9pm; winter until 7pm; tel
0900/9292) has free route maps and an English guide to the ticketing system. As
with the rest of the country, you use a strippenkaart - available from any GVB
office, post offices, selected tobacconists, train stations and VVVs. Since you
rarely need to travel outside the central zone, cancelling two strips is
normally sufficient; this gives you an hour's travel (all trams display
instructions in English for how to cancel strips). Dagkaarten (day tickets) cost
?5 for one day, ?8 for two, then ?2 for each additional day. If caught without a
ticket, you're liable for a ?30 spot fine plus the journey fare. After midnight,
night buses take over, running roughly hourly from Centraal Station to most
parts of the city. Taxis are expensive, found in ranks on main city squares (Stationsplein,
Dam Square, Leidseplein); to book one call 020/677 7777. Bikes can be rented
from Centraal Station or from a number of firms around town
