Map of Amsterdam


Map of Amsterdam, larger view

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

That way we can provide you with relatively uncluttered maps.

The map you see above 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.

This map is presented as part of our Amsterdam Guide, which provides basic tourist information.

Understanding Amsterdam Street Names

As in many other places, the names of streets, squares, lanes, markets, canals and neighborhoods often convey a historic meaning. Throughout Dutch Amsterdam we try and explain these names whenever we think doing so adds to your understanding of historic and modern Amsterdam.

Here, though, we’ll briefly tell you what the suffixes attached to the street-names mean — making it easier to understand the above map, or the map in your Amsterdam Guide Book:

Anton and Janet Hein live and work in Amsterdam. We are the publishers of DutchAmsterdam.

Anton was born on a houseboat in the center of Amsterdam, right across from the iconic Westertoren and what later became the Anne Frank House museum. Having lived in nearly every district since then, he knows the city like his own back pocket.

Janet was born in England and raised in Ireland before moving to Amsterdam 43 years ago. Even to date she brings an expat’s perspective to the DutchAmsterdam website.
