Amsterdam sights and insider tips

We experience Amsterdam like real Amsterdamers – on a bike. Not a list of attractions, but a journey through the history of this city – told in the places where it really happened. From the Brouwersgracht, where Amsterdam emerged as a small trading village, to the West Indian House in the middle of the golden age – when Amsterdam’s ships ruled the world’s oceans. At the Torensluis Bridge we talk openly about the dark side of this wealth : colonialism and slavery. Continue to the Westerkerk, the Anne Frank House and through the moving history of the Jewish community of this city. A break in the Vondelpark – with coffee or a beer in the beer garden. At the Museum Square we clarify the most important question : Have there always been so many bicycles here? And finally, a place most visitors never get to see – Begijnhof. Let yourself be surprised. After the tour : personal recommendations for more unforgettable days in Amsterdam.
