Landmark
“Landmark” in Amsterdam usually means something at street scale rather than a skyline tower — the city stays low (canal-house cornices, church spires, the windmills at the edge of town) and the most recognisable structures are the ones you stand next to rather than look up at. This archive collects the landmarks that organise an Amsterdam itinerary: Dam Square and the National Monument, the Royal Palace, the Westerkerk tower on Prinsengracht, the Magere Brug across the Amstel, the Anne Frank House, the working windmill De Gooyer on Funenkade, Centraal Station’s 1889 façade, and the A’DAM Tower across the IJ in Noord (the modern outlier). Each listing covers what makes the spot worth a stop and how it fits into the wider neighbourhood walk.
