- Dam Square - Known as the “City built on trees,” due to Amsterdam’s soil comprising a thick layer of fen and clay, many buildings are constructed on wooden poles anchored in a sandy layer about 11 meters deep. Historically, Amsterdam’s houses were built on wooden foundation piles driven deep into the clay, peat, and water until reaching the first solid sand layer.
- Chinatown - This area is part of the Red Light District, specifically within the Old Town area. As the oldest part of the city, it is rich in history.
- Int Aepjen - Known as Pub The Ape, or Int Aepjen in Dutch, this establishment was built around 1540 and is one of only two remaining wooden buildings in Amsterdam. This is notable because a major fire in 1452 led the government to mandate brick facades for buildings.
- In de Waag - Originally one of Amsterdam’s city gates and part of the defensive wall, the Waag was constructed around the 1400s and is the city’s second oldest building. It later served as a guild hall, where craftsmen’s organizations were based within the Waag and around the square.
- The Smallest House in Amsterdam - Constructed around the 1700s, this tiny house was initially used as storage for the VOC trading company. It later became a long-term residence.
- Condomerie - Established in 1987, this is the world’s first shop dedicated exclusively to condoms. It offers custom-sized condoms and a variety of unique options.
