Spey Square

Spey is a square in the center of Amsterdam.

It was originally the name of the river that washed Amsterdam from the south and formed the southern border of the city until 1425.

In 1882, Spey was put to sleep and turned into the square we now know. The square underwent reconstruction in 1996 and is now virtually free of vehicles.

Spey is a real paradise for book lovers, there is a book market on Fridays weekly, there are also many bookstores, including the academic “Atheneum Bookstore”, a children’s book store and two English-language bookshops.

Every Sunday there is an art market.

There's a statue of Liverpool on Spey.
