Normal Amsterdam level

The Normal Amsterdam Gauge is a major water level indicator located on the IJ in Amsterdam. The gauge has been used as a reference point for determining the water level in the city since 1991. It not only serves for safety, but also as a guide for flood protection.

The location not only offers you the opportunity to learn more about Amsterdam's maritime history, but you can also admire the exciting contrast between old and modern architecture. In the immediate vicinity you will find the impressive EYE Film Museum and the historic city center.

A visit is particularly worthwhile for those interested in learning more about the importance of water and flood protection in a city that is partially below sea level. The area around the water level is also ideal for a relaxing walk by the water, where you can enjoy the lively atmosphere of the city.
