Originally built as a dam on the Amstel River, Dam Square is located in the heart of Amsterdams historical center and has become a popular meeting point where one can soak up some local culture. Packed with locals, tourists, street performers and even pigeons, Dam Square is just a 5 minute walk from Amsterdams Central Station and is within easy reach of such attractions as the 17th century Royal Palace, the imposing National Memorial statue, Madame Tussauds wax museum and the Gothic style Nieuwe Kerk (New Church).

Long airport layovers are a travel downer. Amsterdam?s Schiphol Airport makes the wait more pleasant by teaming with the Rijksmuseum to offer travelers some 16th century Dutch eye candy. "Thanks to Rembrandt" is a free public exhibit that features samples of work from Rubens, Johannes Vermeer, Hans Bollongier and even Rembrandt himself. www.frakesproductions.com

Amsterdam's Red Light District is now home to a bronze statue in honor of prostitutes around the world the first and only such monument in the world. The statue was unveiled during the Red Light District's 2nd Annual Open Day. Titled Belle, the monument depicts a full-breasted woman who, feet apart and standing in a doorway at the top of small set of steps, looks self-assuredly into the world. It was created by artist Els Rijerse from-Graveland, Netherlands. The bronze sculpture which stands on Oudekerksplein in front of the Oude Kerk, Amsterdam's oldest church was designed at the initiative of Mariska Majoor, of the Prostitution Information Center. According to Majoor, herself a former prostitute, the statue is meant to show respect to the millions of people around the world who earn their money in prostitution. The same square, bordered by pubs, coffee shops and bordellos, already sports a sculpture of a hand caressing a breast, one of several bronze and iron statues donated to the city of Amsterdam by an unknown artist. In order to prevent vandalism, the statue is fortified with steel. Belle is perched atop a high, granite pedestal meant to deter those who engage in so-called wild-peeing. Hours before the statue was unveiled, Mariska Majoor was physically assaulted by an elderly lady who apparently was not happy to have the statue close to her home. The woman was taken into police custody, and released after the unveiling had taken place.
