Station Amsterdam Centraal



The central station is the largest railway station of Amsterdam, Netherlands, and a major national railway hub. Used by 260,000 passengers a day, it is the second-busiest railway station in the country after Utrecht Centraal and the most visited national heritage site of the Netherlands.

National and international railway services at Amsterdam Centraal are provided by Nederlandse spoorwegen or NS, the principal rail operator in the Netherlands.

Amsterdam Centraal was designed by Dutch architect Pierre Cuypers and first opened in 1889. It features a Gothic/Renaissance Revival station building and a cast iron platform roof spanning approximately 40 meters.

Since 1997, the station building, underground passages, metro station and the surrounding area have been undergoing major reconstruction and renovation works to accommodate the North-South Line metro route, which is due to open in 2018 hopefully J

Spui plein 

The Spui is a square in the centre of Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. The Spui was originally a body of
water that formed the southern limit of the city until the 1420s, when the Singel canal was dug as an outer moat
around the city. In 1882 the Spui was filled in and became the square that we
know today.

The Spui is
a popular destination for book-lovers, with a weekly book market on Fridays and
a variety of bookstores[1] on or near the square, including two shops
dedicated to English-language literature (the American Book Center relocated to
the Spui in October 2006). There is also a weekly art market on the Spui, every
Sunday.

The Spui
provides entry to the Begijnhof, a Medieval
courtyard.
