    an alternative

    or you could always just go to www.damsite.nl. the cam's not in as good a position as the one at the kras but, hey! at least it works.

    get with it krasnapolsky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    this is for all the people that are tired of waiting for the kras' to get it together. go to earthcam.com and type in amsterdam, you will get ten or so different cams and one is of the dam sqaure. it's not as good as the dam cam used to be , but it's better than nothing. be cool, and say ja to the nederlands; tot ziens

    please fix it

    i have heard so much about this non-existant cam. apparently everyone loved it. so where is it?


    language Review by a Visitor
    a pox on the kras for letting this go offline

    this was one of my favorite places to go on the web. i went there every day when i could to see what was going on on the other side of the world. even when it was out of focus, it was great to see adam. on my last visit in nov. 02, i even went as far as to tell the doorman at the kras that i, speaking on behalf of thousands worldwide, appreciated the cam dam. he was thankful, and shooed me on my way. i wish i had their e-mail address.

    webmaster/jeanbean, way to go. you two cleared the picture.

    indeed this is focused back in. we owe you two for the brilliant work. tis dam good to have a clear view again. 2 days left till departure. this time a 2 week honeymoon. my wife and i have been before, just not as a married couple. not a better place to spend a honeymoon in the world. we love you amsterdam...


    language Review by jeanbean
    found focused view!

    (thx to this review, i updated the link, good view now, the webmaster) while trying to view the blurry dam cam, i clicked on the link for the golden tulip grand hotel krasnapolsky, right beneath the picture, and they have a link to their web camera and the view is in focus! it's beautiful! :-) (3 weeks/6 days and counting!)


    language Review by lasthamlet
    indeed we miss the clarity of good focus.

    yes it did used to be clearer. i have a pretty good foto of my wife and i, printed off the web from the office back home. we were standing on the white riser wall attached to the back of the statue of love. that was last sept. 2001. it has lost its focus a bit, we still know what we are gazing and wishing upon. still it would be better for those who have not been, to have a clearer picture of this wonderful enigma. we love you amsterdam, from those of us who enjoy the peaceful nature of your city. and the wonderful sights and awesome museums, and well, the coffeeshops. okay, i am easy to read... 51 days from today, a-dam we shall meet again.

    language Review by stoney toke
    hey, man, this cam is sooo surreal

    i spent a lot of time in amsterdam going round. sometimes i went outside and it looked just like this web cam. you could tell you were in a lace where things stopped and things moved. it was hard to focus. this cam just reminds me. but i can't really remeber what


    language Review by richard townend
    crap cam

    is this the best web cam in the 'dam? it's too far away to be able to make anybody out and half of the picture is obscured by the wall. useless! i'll be there waving at the wife next week lol


    language Review by a Visitor
    cam dam wall

    notsure what wall you are talking about...its either the roof of the hotel the camera is sitting on or its the back of the mounument.......i love the dam cam


    language Review by lasthamlet
    had to be said.

    i just said what had to be. didn't mean to rant on. forgive me if i offended anyone. when you arrive blazer, scoot by the little park behind the dutch royal bank, (fredriksplein park) and roast one for us all who await just a little longer. my wife and i have 130 days til our next 2 week stay. now as we focus in on the camdam, exhale, and remember the last word of william wallace, 'freedom'


    language Review by kimba
    bravo!!! i concur...

    the dam is a great place to view while counting down the days until your next get away to heaven. by the way does anyone know what that wall is in close view of the dam cam?


    language Review by blazer
    bravo!!!

    thank you for trying to describe our haven to others. some people will just never understand the joy of being able to see the dam in a few simple clicks. 10 days to go...


    language Review by lasthamlet
    puh lease, puh lease !!!

    i just had to respond to the negativity in the below review. first things first- it is not so much the web-cam itself, it is what it is focused upon. it is the dam, true not the best area of amsterdam, but that isn't the point. it is a view of heaven. a real haven from senseless laws, that have no place in modern history. imagine if you can, all this to do over a plant. a creation of god. sure he didn't directly say to smoke it but, if gives one a peaceful nature and relaxes one in the evening after a long day at the grind. then what other than the name of money, are we so dead set against it for??? no one that wrote a review of this web-cam, has any money invested in it. we just seem to have time invested in getting just a glimpse of the haven we love to visit so much. you must understand from the typical american public viewpoint, who may have never been to a-dam. this place is an illussion. to those of us who have seen the true light of day, it is a reality. a reality we only get to vacation in, nevertheless it is real. so, my point is to have a camera focused on an illussion, is truely a wonderful thing. especially if you have been to that illussion, and know it to be indeed what it is. simply put--- 'freedom'


    language Review by blazer
    i love the cam dam

    30 days and counting...can't wait till i'm standing in dam square!

    language Review by mattman
    it's a lovely view of heaven

    i love being able to peek in on the heart of the one of the most beautiful cities on earth. this cam helps one to relive some of the magic moments in this heaven on earth. i plan to have my friends look in on me via this wonderful device while i am there in feb.

    my private window to freedom.

    this site always puts me in a good mood, makes me feel as if i'm there (almost!). i can check out the weather (raining?) and the activity. a great up to the minute view of my favorite city. i wish this was the view from my window right now!


    language Review by lasthamlet
    a view of heaven.

    without a doubt this is the place i love. a closer place to heaven does not exist. i was there sept. 2001. i flashed a company banner and it was printed out at our office in greensboro, nc. the very minute it happened. so, i can personally say that this camera is real and does show the daily minutes of the area of the dam. i look sometimes and see 2 of the street peddlers who approached me several times. i reccommend that you do as i did and say no thanks. if there is anything you want that is not in the shops, maybe you don't need it.


    language Review by hankeuno
    cam at the dam

    i look in on life at the dam regularly just to refresh my fond memmories of my visits to amsterdam. my wife and i have stayed right down the street at the nadia in 2001, on the keizersgracht. i hope the camera continues well into the future, it's part of my life.


    language Review by henrik nelson
    brings back memories

    awesome web cam... just makes me wanna return to ams. my first visit to dam sq. was in march of 1997 -- when they were remodeling that white monument in front of the krasnapolsky. in fact, we were staying at the kras. hotel. what a nice place! this july, we were back in amsterdam and stayed in hotel pulitzer... on prinsengracht canal (sorry, i can't spell these dutch names). ahh...watching those trolley buses and people go by just make me long to get back there. i'll never forget how we literally 'stumbled' accross the red light district behind the krasnapolsky hotel. memories...

    a view of paradise

    this site is the perfect way to escape the mind-sucking computer screen that i stare at from monday to friday in canada. i've been to a'dam on eight separate occasions since 1991. guess where my next trip is going to be? p.s. to the guy who wrote the review about his mom wanting to see him on camera: of course you're going to be stoned!!!


    language Review by a Visitor
    god i love amsterdam

    i wish i was back there now. the dam looks so nice. i was there when it was under construction back in november of 2000. stayed in a hotel cordial right down the road on rokin. what an awesome place the netherlands are. i will be back soon one day!!!

    dam cam rocks

    oh how i love to sit and watch the people walk through the dam, it brings back such wonderful memories. i can see the spot where i stood on new years eve, damn i wish i was there now. it is a lovely view of the palace, and the niewe kerk. thank you for setting this up, so i can sit back and see the spot where this wonderful town began.

    keeping an eye on amsterdam

    one of the best ideas around. it's great to be able to keep an eye on the place i love. you can see the people, the trams and the weather all at the same time. no matter where you are in the world you can still see amsterdam. it's nice to see all the building work has now been completed. seeing all this just makes me want to book my next holiday there. perhaps i'll see you when i come over next.


    language Review by danno
    i was so amazed at this cam.

    this was indeeed an awesome sight to actually see a continous series of clips taken in real time was just amazing. when i arrive this sept. 7, 2001. i will stand their and wave for all to see. this was indeed a wonderful view of the country i love so much. to bad i am from the usa.
