Parking near Nieuwmarkt
Prebooking
The Nieuwmarkt is more than just a square. It is a place where history can be felt in every stone, where residents come together on the terrace and where, as a visitor, you are immersed in the real Amsterdam.
In the middle of Nieuwmarkt stands the imposing Waag, a sturdy building that once served as a city gate, as part of the medieval city wall. Later it became a weighing house, a guildhall, an anatomical theatre (where Rembrandt once painted) and today it houses an atmospheric restaurant with a terrace full of character. The Waag is the symbol of Nieuwmarkt, a beacon of history and tranquillity in the middle of the city's liveliness.
The Nieuwmarkt lives up to its name. Every day, the square bustled with activity. On Saturdays, you can wander around the organic market. It is a popular spot for Amsterdammers looking to buy fresh cheeses, bread, vegetables and delicacies. You can also enjoy flowers to Asian spices and antiques at the day market. Adjacent to the Nieuwmarkt is one of Europe's oldest Chinatowns, with atmospheric shops, authentic restaurants and the beautiful Zeedijktempel (He Hua Temple).
Whether you perch on a terrace overlooking the Waag, or duck inside a classic Amsterdam café, the Nieuwmarkt is perfect for people-watching. Local pubs like Café In 't Aepjen or Café de Waag offer an atmospheric spot for drinks, lunch or dinner. In summer, the square comes alive with live music, terrace conversations and a relaxed atmosphere.
The Nieuwmarkt is a place where the Amsterdam of past and present come together. Here you can feel history under your feet, taste worldly flavours and experience the city at its purest. It is an ideal place to start or end a day in Amsterdam - or just to enjoy the moment, right in the middle of the city. Whether you come for the market, the food, the history or the atmosphere, the Nieuwmarkt will not leave you unmoved.
