	Dam Square, Amsterdam by BERCKHEYDE, Gerrit Adriaensz. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Gerrit Berckheyde is at his best in his speciality: paintings of a major building, squares, a row of houses or other segments of a city.
		The demand for views of Amsterdam (but not for the interiors of its churches), was far greater than for portrayals of Haarlem, and Gerrit did his share to satisfy it.
		His earliest view of the new town hall on the Dam bears an autograph inscription stating it was painted at Haarlem in 1668 (Koninklijk Museum voor Schone Kunsten, Antwerp).

		At this location I'd invest in a transportation pass as the #9 tram to Dam Square and Centraal Station as well as the #14 to Dam Square and the Jordaan are only a 2 to 4 block walk depending on where on N. Keizersgracht the houseboat is.
		I think your boat is just as close to the Dam as the Jordaan (pronounced your dahn), and it is closer to the major museums and popular pleins, L and R. I suggest the Lonely Planet pocket map ISBN 1-86450-081-6 for $5.95.
		Dam is the only way it is known on maps produced in Holland, and all the maps that I have from Europe for that matter.
