Let me take you on a journey through Amsterdam's storied streets, exploring everything from the vibrant Red Light District and Jordaan to the historic echoes of Dutch-American ties.

Hidden in the heart of the city centre of Amsterdam is a small wonder: Our Lord in the Attic Museum. Visitors will be going on a journey in a unique well-preserved canal house from the 17th century.
