Amsterdam: a city built on water and stories
Founded on the banks of the Amstel in the 13th century, Amsterdam grew into the world's busiest port during the 17th-century Golden Age. Its ring of concentric canals — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — still traces the ambition of that era, lined with thousands of monumental merchant houses.
Beyond the grachtengordel lies a mosaic of former villages turned neighbourhoods, each with its own character: the artistic Jordaan, the market bustle of De Pijp, the medieval Centrum and the stately Canal Belt. Our self-guided audio tours let you explore them at your own pace.
