Het Begijnhof is a hidden gem in the heart of Amsterdam, offering a peaceful escape from the city's hustle. This historic courtyard, dating back to the 14th century, was originally a sanctuary for the Beguines, a group of religious women. Today, it's a serene spot with charming houses, including the city's oldest wooden house, and the English Reformed Church. With its tranquil atmosphere and beautiful gardens, Het Begijnhof feels like stepping back in time.
A fun fact about the Stadsarchief in Amsterdam is that it houses over 50 kilometers of historical documents, including Rembrandt's original notary deed from 1639 when he bought his house! The building itself, a former bank, even has an old vault that you can explore, making it a treasure trove of history hidden in plain sight.
Brouwersgracht, one of Amsterdam's most picturesque canals, was historically the brewing center of the city, lined with warehouses storing beer and grain. Today, it’s a favorite spot for photographers due to its charming bridges and classic canal houses. Fun fact: Brouwersgracht has been voted one of the most beautiful streets in Amsterdam, offering a perfect blend of history, architecture, and quintessential Dutch charm.
Berlageplein, often referred to as Beursplein, is a small square in Amsterdam named after the famous architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage, who designed the nearby Beurs van Berlage building. Fun fact: This square was originally the site of the old stock exchange and is now a popular gathering spot, especially for skateboarders who have made it a favorite hangout thanks to its smooth surfaces and urban vibe. It’s a unique blend of historical significance and modern street culture right in the city center.
