About this tour

This walking tour takes you through the vibrant heart of Amsterdam in just 10 carefully selected stops. From the grand Central Station to the historic Oude Kerk in the Red Light District, you'll trace the city’s transformation from medieval harbor town to modern metropolis.

Along the way, you’ll explore narrow alleys like Nes, stroll past floating flower markets, pause at peaceful inner courtyards like Begijnhof, and witness the bustling energy of Kalverstraat. You'll also stand on the very foundation of the city at Dam Square, marvel at the Royal Palace, and end at De Nieuwe Kerk – a fitting contrast to where we began.

This tour offers a perfect blend of history, architecture, local culture, and surprising contrasts, ideal for first-time visitors who want to experience the essence of Amsterdam in a few memorable hours.
