Come and listen to our experienced guide and join him or her during the city tour of the Museum of the Canals! We take you back in time to explore the history of ‘the Venice of the north’ and its canal ring.
The Eighty Years War, the Alteratie of Amsterdam and the city-expansions during the seventeenth century (The Derde and Vierde Uitleg). Along the canals you hear the stories of monumental buildings, special engravings and remarkable places. Do you know where the names of the Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht came from? How many bikes annually disappear into the canals? In what way French Huguenots are linked to the Jordaan? Or in what way Amsterdam keeps its waters clean? This and many more topics come to front during the city tour of the Museum of the Canals!
