Step into medieval Amsterdam, learn how they came to dominate world trade and how they have become one of the most liberal cities in the world.
From fishermen to traders, from sailors to world domination
Amsterdam is a city that surprises. A mixture of history, rebelliousness, beauty and tolerance. In this tour I propose a journey through time: from its beginnings as a medieval port to become one of the most influential cities in the world. During the tour...
- We will walk along the most emblematic canals, discovering how its architecture and commercial power emerged. - You will learn the story of Anne Frank and other key players in the Jewish community. - We will talk unfiltered about marijuana, prostitution and the evolution of this modern and tolerant society. - You will take away local recommendations and discover charming corners. Some points of the tour:
- Dam Square - Royal Palace - New Church (Nieuwe Kerk) - National Monument - Anne Frank and the Jewish footprint - 17th century and the Dutch Golden Age
A city small in size but giant in history. And that's the Amsterdam I want to show you.
