The National Monument stands high in the center of Amsterdam's Dam Square and is the Netherlands' most important World War II memorial. The towering travertine obelisk is 22 meters high and pays tribute to the fallen Dutch soldiers from World War II and subsequent armed conflicts. On May 4, 1956, Queen Juliana (the daughter of Wilhelmina) unveiled a new monument.

Between the Nieuwendijk and Damrak lies an impressive passage worth visiting: the Beurspassage (Stock Exchange Passage). The passage is a 450-square-meter work of art called "Amsterdam Oersoep" (Amsterdam Primordial Soup) by artists Arno Coenen, Iris Roskam, and Hans van Bentem. It is a visual narrative about the emergence of life forms from water, with Amsterdam's canals and history at its center. It is 8 meters high and 4.5 meters wide.

The former alley Baafjessteeg (Baafje's Alley) dates back to 1416 (Baafje was a girl's name, but we don't know who this woman was). It was first recorded on a map from 1625. In 1876, this alley was located at Damrak 74. At the end of the 19th century, the alley was covered over and incorporated into the office building of an insurance company. In 1912, the building was converted into a department store and headquarters of the clothing company C&A. After a fire in 1963, which left only the facade intact, a new building was constructed in 1968. The name Beurspassage (Stock Exchange Passage) originated in 1905, in reference to Berlage's Koopmansbeurs, which was built on the Beursplein in 1903. In 2010, a comprehensive renovation project called "Nowadays" (by American architect Robert A.M. Stern and the Dutch firm Rijnboutt) began to renew the surrounding buildings at Damrak 70 and 80 and Nieuwendijk 196. The finished artwork was completed in 2016. The passage was relocated to the north side of the building.

De Beurspassage in Amsterdam. It connects two shopping streets in the city center, just a stone's throw from the central station. It was inaugurated at the end of 2016. Magnificent glass mosaics and beautiful candelabras decorate the walls and ceiling. The original chandeliers were made from recycled bicycle parts such as handlebars, headlights, and gears and are decorated with gold leaf. Visitors walk across an ornate terrazzo floor. The passage has created a beautiful street space with a pleasant atmosphere in Amsterdam's city center. Such public spaces contribute to the perception of cities as attractive places. The former Baafjessteeg alleyway dates back to 1416.
