The area

Neighbourhood: Centrum

Amsterdam’s buzzing hub, with its sprawling network of tram rails and a seemingly constant flow of tourists and commuters, yields convenient access to some of the best sightseeing, shopping, and street life in Europe. Closest at hand are the Royal Palace, the quaint shops of Haalremmerdijk, the pedestrianized zones Kalverstraat and Dam Square with popular neighborhoods such as the Red Light District, and the Canal Ring hardly more than a moment’s stroll away. With the well-connected Centraal Station as Centrum’s base, it's easy to travel farther afield via one of the city’s iconic trams.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

February '41 strike memorial

Feb 2019 • Solo

Bronze statue erected as a tribute to the brave people participating in the 1941 February strike, against persecution of Jews by the German occupiers. Striking object.

So heroic

Mar 2024 • Solo

Oh of course, it's not the emblematic monument of Amsterdam to visit first. This square and this statue may seem rather ordinary. And yet, it commemorates a unique event of the Second World War that even the Germans were surprised by: faced with the "mistreatment" of Jews, Dutch workers decided on a general strike. Unique fact during this war, thus showing their courage in the face of the invader. Of course, she was very harshly repressed, but at least had the courage to exist.
So, if you are in the neighborhood, between a synagogue, a Jewish museum, a botanical garden, a zoo... take a quick stroll through this little square, and let the emotion carry you away.
