This area is well known for being home to Amsterdam’s most famous Red Light District. It gets really busy at night, but is surprisingly peaceful during the day.

It connects to many of the major roads in the city and is surrounded by some notable buildings such as Madame Tussaud’s, the Royal Palace, and De Bijenkorf.

Our last day in Amsterdam was spent walking through as much of the city as possible. There were so many spots that we still wanted to see, and because of the weather, we ended up having to cut some things out. I really enjoyed walking through De Wallen; we had been the previous night, but it was like an entirely different place during the day! When you first enter, coming from Dam Square, it’s really busy and full of street vendors. However, the further away from the main square you walk, the quieter and more enjoyable it becomes. There are so many old bridges and rows of canals here. You can get lost wandering around, or for a different view, hop in a boat for a guided tour through the city. One piece of advice I have for anyone visiting is to watch out for bikes!!

  3. It’s funny that I’m reading your post today because this week marks a special anniversary… it has been one year since my trip to amsterdam! I remember that because I surprised my Fiancee (then girlfriend) with an overseas adventure so that I could “pop the question”. We finished up our trip in amsterdam and I fell in love with the canals and the black buildings. I know that the black tar originally was just a protective sealing (right?) but i love the look it gives.

    this post is really nice and i like the design of your blog. thank you for the memories and the inspiration.

    • Wow, what an exciting place to get engaged! Congratulations to you and your fiancee. The black buildings are my favorite too, and I actually didn’t know that’s why they were originally black. Thanks for the info 🙂 Have a great weekend and thanks for reading!
