About

About DamGuide

DamGuide is a small independent guide to Amsterdam. We write about canals, museums, neighbourhoods and the small daily pleasures of the city, always with practical details.

We update pages when things change, and we prefer a short honest tip to a long list. If you notice something that is out of date, we would like to fix it.

The photographs come from Wikimedia Commons, where photographers publish their work under free licences. Every author is credited below.
