Busy and bustling but varied. A street with a little of everything a tourist could want (apart from space and peace)

Many interesting things to see. Nice area to shop as well. Architecture is never a bore. A very busy area since it's one of the main attractions.

Damrak is a very busy street. It is in the centre of Amsterdam and it has some history behind it too. Originally it was just a canal! However at some stage it was reclaimed from the river, was filled in and became a street. Due...More

This might have been a picturesque part of the center of town, but it is swamped with tourists and all the trashy business that surround them. You will pass through here on your way.

Good for a walk down as you leave central station. Some good lively bars but you’re better to wander down some of the smaller streets and alleys for more genuine NETHERLANDS. Too many souvenirs being sold in too many shops. Tourist tat!

So, on our first day in Amsterdam, walked up here from Central station to check out Dam Square. It's like a pilgrimage walk for all Amsterdam newbies. Just worth going through there once so you end up seeing the monument, palace ..? Super full and...More

Damrak being the busy section between Centraal Station to Dam Square is always flooded with people. There are many shops and typical Dutch houses on both sides. Quite a good photo-taking spot along the area.

No, avoid it like the plague, there is nothing to see and its not particularly nice, in fact its grotty. If she is a young teenager get to the Jordaan area for Anne Frank's house and canal trips etc and if she is old enough... More
