Amsterdam Centraal is a landmark in the old centre. Cuypers' monumental 1889 station building, a landmark in its own right.
What to expect
A well-known landmark — worth a stop on a walk through the area; check whether the interior is open to visit.
The neighbourhood
It sits in De Wallen (Red Light District). Amsterdam's oldest quarter is a tangle of medieval lanes and canals around the Oude Kerk — and the heart of the Red Light District. By day a fascinating historic centre; by night famously frank.
Good to know
Opening hours and ticket prices change — check the official website before visiting; many sights are free to see from outside.
