Metro Line 52 (Dutch: Metrolijn 52), also known as the North–South Line (Noord/Zuidlijn), is part of the Amsterdam Metro network. The line starts in Amsterdam-Noord (Noord station next to the Buikslotermeerplein), continues under Amsterdam-Centrum to its terminus in Amsterdam Zuid station. It has six intermediate stops: Noorderpark, Centraal Station, Rokin, Vijzelgracht, De Pijp, and Europaplein. The line was officially opened on 21 July 2018 by the mayor of Amsterdam, Femke Halsema^[2] and was opened to the public on the next day, 22 July 2018.^[3]

This was not the first line 52 in Amsterdam. During May 2008 and July 2013, part of line 50 was run as line 52 due to work in the Station Zuid area.^[4]
