Set on the exterior wall of the historic Nieuwe Kerk (New Church), the Sun Dial is a lesser-known highlight near Dam Square in Amsterdam. The 15th-century church’s rich history pairs perfectly with this charming timekeeper, once guiding residents and merchants before reliable clocks were common. Admire the intricate design on a sunny day and observe how shadows mark the passing minutes. Complement your visit by exploring the church’s grand interior, renowned for royal ceremonies and art exhibitions. The location is easily reached by tram or a short walk from Amsterdam Central Station, with nearby shops and cafés to soak up Amsterdam’s lively atmosphere.
