Waterlooplein

Amsterdam’s Oude Kerk was consecrated over 700 years ago. Before the Reformation of 1578, it was a Roman Catholic church; afterwards, it became an important centre of Calvinism.

Amsterdam's picturesque ancient court has a fascinating religious history.

The city's most fragrant attraction is the only floating flower market on the planet.

Amsterdam's Sephardic community was one of Europe's largest during the Golden Age; this synagogue has been their religious centre here since the 17th century.

The Rembrandt House or Museum Het Rembrandthuis is the house where the famous painter Rembrandt lived for many years, near Waterlooplein in Amsterdam. The museum shows the life of the Dutch painter with his wife and children. The collection holds Rembrand's sketches and works from his tutor, Pieter Lastman.

The picturesque 'skinny bridge' over the Amstel is lit up at night with 1200 bulbs.
