It faces the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, a grand 17th-century building that once served as the city hall and is now used for royal events. Next to it is the Nieuwe Kerk, a Gothic church dating back to the 15th century, known for royal inaugurations and exhibitions. To the right, the ABN AMRO building, with its classic Dutch architecture, stands alongside De Bijenkorf, Amsterdam’s iconic luxury department store.
