Dam Square Live Cam

Dam Square is situated in the heart of Amsterdam, roughly 750 meters (2,500 feet) south of the city’s main transportation hub, Centraal Station. It occupies the original site of De Dam, a dam built in the Amstel River. The square has a roughly rectangular shape, measuring about 200 meters (650 feet) from west to east and approximately 100 meters (350 feet) from north to south. It serves as a junction for the streets Damrak and Rokin, which follow the original course of the Amstel River, connecting Centraal Station to Muntplein (Mint Square) and the iconic Munttoren (Mint Tower).

De Dam also marks the terminus for several prominent streets, including Nieuwendijk, Kalverstraat, and Damstraat, which are well-traveled thoroughfares in Amsterdam. A short distance from the square’s northeast corner lies the famous red-light district, De Wallen, adding to the area's diverse cultural landscape.
