Nieuwmarkt Metro station opened in 1980 and is served by 3 lines: the Orange 51 (Amsterdam Centraal–Amstelveen), Red 53 (Amsterdam Centraal–Gaasperplas), and Yellow 54 (Amsterdam Centraal–Gein).

This Metro station is only accessible with an OV-chipkaart or GVB Travel Pass.

The artwork in the Nieuwmarkt Metro station is designed to evoke the 1975 Nieuwmarkt Riots, when Amsterdam residents protested the demolition of homes to make room for the subway construction.
