Nationaal Monument is a monument in the old centre. The white WWII remembrance obelisk on Dam square.
What to expect
A landmark you can visit — exterior is free to admire any time; interior visits (where possible) may have set hours and a fee.
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.
