Map of Amsterdam

Many of the articles in Dutch Amsterdam include links to (or embedded) Google maps customized for each entry.

That way we can provide you with relatively uncluttered maps.

The map you see below is also powered by Google. As with all Google Maps, you can zoom in and move the map around with the options at the top left, or select a different view with the buttons at the top right. The markers shown are linked to pages within the Dutch Amsterdam website. We’ll be adding more markers as we go along.

Below this map we’ll tell you what the suffixes attached to the street names mean.
