Walking through Amsterdam past and present
Overview
Is it the first time you come to the beautiful city surrounded by canals of Amsterdam, or have you been once and you fancy a walk, hear details, corners, recommendations that escape sight? Walk from the National Monument in Dam Square through its streets with its traditional architecture, strolling along its canals, getting to know its history and visiting such iconic places as the Begijnhof, the flower market, the dancing houses. Or perhaps you prefer to visit the old town, get to know the OudeKerk, the Nieuwmarkt square where De Waag is located or old access to the city, and get to know the history of Amsterdam in the Jewish quarter a little more. But all this, with much more details, recommendations, and with food. And of course, at the end of the tour you can contact me to give you more tips on places or what you feel like doing to enjoy your stay in this beautiful country.
