Description
Visit famous sites of Amsterdam downtown and get an overview of the city on this walking tour focusing on the culture and history of the city. Discover local highlights like Dam Square, the Torensluis Bridge, and Begijnhof. Start your tour in the heart of the city at Dam Square, where Amsterdam was founded. Stroll past the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, the New Church Nieuwe Kerk, the former main post office, and the Torensluis Bridge. Hear stories about how merchants, salesmen, and the poor used to live in the Middle Ages, why the world of art blossomed in the Golden Era, how World War II changed the people of the city, and what it feels like to live in the tolerant, multicultural city today. See one of the tiniest houses in the city and learn more about the colonial era at the statue of Multatuli on Torensluis Bridge. Walk past romantic canal-side houses and cross Spui Square to get to the pearl of Amsterdam – Begijnhof. Find out which foods you must try and which districts can be discovered independently by bike. Learn about architectural designs that were popular in the past and gain an insight into the local way of life. On the way back to Dam Square see the river that the city owes its name to, the Amstel.
