Amstel

The river after which Amsterdam is named


Expert Pick Must See

Address:
Muntplein
Amsterdam, NH 1012 WP

Description

Amstel is the river from which Amsterdam took its name. It became the heart of the city after the river was dammed. From the south the river runs into town up to the town hall, near Waterloo and Munt squares. Then it branches off into several different streams throughout the city canals. At night, the river banks of the Amstel are a delightful place to enjoy the city lights.
