Secrets of the center of Amsterdam, the big canals and Jordan. Walking tour

You can feel the special atmosphere of Amsterdam by walking along the Grand Canals (the Lords Canal, the Princes Canal and the Imperial Canal). We will start the tour from the main square of the city - Dam Square. I will tell you about all the sights of this square, how the city hall turned into a royal palace, where the world’s first stock exchange was located, why the tower of the New Church was not completed, and much more.

We will explore the monastery of St. Lucia, the courtyard of the Beguines (the nuns who could marry and leave the monastic order), go out to the canals. We will see where the first dam was, protecting the city from floods. We will enter the quiet, cozy courtyards of the Jordan district, hidden from prying eyes. I will show you the favorite streets of the locals, where there are not only the best shops, but also the best pubs.

I will tell you about boat houses, and you will appreciate the taste with which the Dutch decorate them. We will walk through small, picturesque streets, lost between the canals. You will see Amsterdam as the locals see and love it.

If desired, we can taste herring and make a stop in one of the cozy cafes / bars.
