Golden Age Canals Walking Tour

Are you ready to dive into the Amsterdam UNESCO canals and find the true heart of the city?

Beginning: The Old City

We begin in the heart of Amsterdam's old city, the red light district where the ancient pulse of the city beats strongest. Here, amidst cobblestone streets, stands the oldest church, its centuries-old spire a silent witness to the passage of time. Red light windows beckon from the lanes nearby and Amsterdam's Old City reveals itself as a realm where the sacred and the profane intertwine, where history whispers through the walls, and where the soul of the city is laid bare for those willing to seek it.

Amstel River: A Living Tapestry of Stories 

Our adventure then leads us to Central Amsterdam, where bridges whisper tales of the Dutch Golden Age. Find the Amstel River where tulips once ignited a craze, and discover hidden courtyards that have borne witness to the age of global empires.

The New City

The new city district stands as a testament to the city's  innovative spirit. Tall baroque townhouses line the narrow canals, their elegant facades reflecting centuries of architectural evolution. Built upon reclaimed swampland, this neighborhood symbolizes Amsterdam's triumph over nature and its transformation into a thriving metropolis. Today the houses seem to be dancing as they slowly fall over on their 400 year old foundations.

The Canal Ring 
The Canal Ring, often dubbed the "Venice of the North," boasts lavish townhouses, adorned with elegant facades and gabled roofs. A neighborhood for  merchants, traders, and the social elite of the time, life within the Canal Ring was one of luxury and refinement.

End: The Journey Culminates 
As the journey through Amsterdam's canals draws to a close, the towering Westerkerk emerges beside Anne Frank's house like a sentinel of history. This majestic church stands as a poignant symbol marking the end of an era—the end of the Golden Age.  Rembrandt, one of the most celebrated Dutch painters of the Golden Age, found his final resting place within the hallowed walls of the Westerkerk after passing away in 1669, just a few years before the Golden Age ended. Feel the weight of history, the passage of time, and the enduring legacy of those who shaped Amsterdam's rich tapestry.
