I suppose you knew, but I just found it out. Anyway, do you know what the "dam" stands for in "Amsterdam"? Stands for "dam." Like Clark Gable told Vivian Leigh: "Frankly my dear, I'm going to build a dam."
So, "dam on the Amstel," a dammed-up river of beer. No wonder it is so popular with tourists.

Make sure to visit the Dutch Resistance Museum. And keep an eye out for book fairs. When I last visisted, my wife and I found a number of great books at one we found at Dam Square.
