The station is located close to the Weigh House (De Waag) of Amsterdam.
The metro station is only accessible with an OV-chipkaart or GVB Travel Pass.
The artwork in the Nieuwmarkt Metro station by Louis van Gasteren and Jan Sierhuis is designed to evoke the 1975 Nieuwmarkt Riots, when Amsterdam residents protested the demolition of homes to make room for subway constructions.
