Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal

The Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal (Dutch pronunciation: [ˌniuəzɛitsˈfoːrbʏr(ə)xʋɑl]) is a street in the centre of Amsterdam.

In 1996 the southern part from Roskamsteeg to Spui was converted to one-way traffic in the northward direction for private motor vehicles.

In 2018 a new traffic plan went into effect making the southern part of the street and Spuistraat only accessible from Raadhuisstraat, cutting off private motor vehicle connections past Spui to Singel and Muntplein, thereby creating a loop.

The northern part of Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, parallel-running Spuistraat, and their connecting street of Martelaarsgracht were turned into one-way southward traffic from Prins Hendrikkade to Raadhuisstraat.

[2] Across from the royal palace on the corner with Raadhuisstraat W Hotel can be found housed in a 1930s telegraphy building.

Dutch psychiatrist Tina Strobos, who rescued over 100 Jewish refugees from the Holocaust during World War II, lived with her family at Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal 282.
