Royal Palace in Amsterdam
Amsterdam’s Royal Palace is located on Dam Square, in the center of Amsterdam. It was originally built to serve as the building of the town hall and magistrates of Amsterdam. In the seventeenth century was the largest building in Europe.
Royal Palace on Dam Square is one of three palaces which the Dutch State has provided to the Queen by a decision of parliament. The palace is used mainly for official events and visits at the highest level, special receptions and reception on the occasion of New Year. Every year there are various prizes and awards offered by the Queen.
The Royal Palace is the official royal residence especially for the family’s one in Hague. The building is dating since 1648 and was originally designed in order to house the government. However, King Louis Napoleon wanted to do something else, to turn the government into a palace in 1808. A large collection of furniture from this period fill the inside of the palace. Guided tours are offered to visitors (they must be reserved two weeks before).
For individual visitors free tours are available Wednesday and Saturday afternoon when the palace is open to the public. During the summer these tours are available in both Dutch and English. All tours begin at 14:00.
