What to expect
Discover the Amsterdam that’s hiding in plain sight with this small-group walking tour.
This route takes you through the busy old Jewish Quarter and the gracefully quiet Plantage neighborhood, then along the canal belt to the Amstel River. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of the people who shaped Amsterdam, even if their names aren’t always spoken today.
