Overview

Escape the crowds and explore tranquil places in a historic neighbourhood. See Amsterdam with the eyes of a local!

We will show you more than the usual: iconic buildings & hidden courtyards. While strolling through the maze of little streets we will tell you stories spanning centuries from Rembrandt until today.

On our way to the local neighbourhood of Jordaan you will:
- learn more about the history of the canal belt & encounter magnificent buildings like the Royal Palace
- visit hidden courtyards that housed sailors` widows and elderly people on charity in 1650 – the first social housing projects in the world
- explore the distinct lay-out and see the difference that this neighbourhood shows compared to the canal belt
- find out why both locals & art community fought to preserve the special character of the area when investors and the city tried to remodel it in the 1970s
- browse for a reminder on an antique market

Let us show you our Jordaan: a living village inside the city
