Blue Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The name blue bridge comes from the nickname of the old bridges that were here before 1883, they had blue railings

A bridge has been on this spot for centuries, but the current name dates from 1972. The bridge is named after Walter Süskind, who, together with Felix Halverstad, Lau Mazirel and Piet Meerburg, allowed Jews and Jewish children to escape from the Hollandsche Schouwburg during the Nazi regime and the nursery opposite. All four have a bridge named after them.

View of the Basilica of Saint Nicholas

Highlight • Religious Site

The architect Adrianus Bleijs (1842–1912) designed the church based on a combination of several historicist styles, especially neo-baroque and neo-renaissance.
It was built between 1884 and 1887 and finally consecrated on February 7, 1887. In 1999, the interior of the sacred building was extensively restored. In 2012, it was elevated to a minor basilica.

Amsterdam Centraal Station

Highlight • Monument

If you arrive at the Amsterdam train station by train, you should definitely look around there. The building itself, designed by Pierre Cuypers (the architect of the Rijksmuseum) and opened in 1889, is one of the city's most iconic buildings.

Herengracht

Highlight • River

Established in 1612, the Herengracht is one of three major canals in central Amsterdam. With its beautiful Golden Bend stretch, stately mansions and interior gardens, it has long been one of the trendiest spots in the city. To this day, many of the most chic places to live in the Dutch capital are located along this canal.
