Small Group LGBTQ+ History Tour in Amsterdam
Overview
Be inspired by centuries of LGBTQ+ Amsterdammers who beat the odds and changed the world. Walk with an engaging storyteller through the UNESCO World Heritage Canal Belt to uncover this long history.
LGBTQ+ Amsterdammers have always been part of the fabric of the city. Far too often, however, only the 20th century is discussed. This small-group walking tour through Amsterdam’s most beautiful neighborhoods explores the full breadth of the history and the community. The tour goes from a 17th-century lesbian love triangle to a 21st-century drag queen, from a 19th-century bisexual ruler to a 17th-century intersex soldier.
We start at the nightlife hub of Rembrandtplein walking to iconic spots along the Canal Belt including the Homomonument, which was groundbreaking when it was unveiled and remains a place of both celebration and mourning. You’ll leave the tour inspired and with a full sense of Amsterdam and its LGBTQ+ community.
