The Spuistraat in downtown Amsterdam connects the Hekelveld to the Spui.
It runs roughly north to south, parallel to the Singel and the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal.
At the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, the Spuistraat crosses the Raadhuisstraat and Paleisstraat.
Originally the Spuistraat was a canal, the Nieuwezijds Achterburgwal.
The canal was filled in in 1867, and the street renamed then.
