Prins Hendrikkade 73, 1012 AD Amsterdam, Netherlands By the entrance to the St. Nicholas Church - Located across from Central Station

  • St. Nicholas Basilica, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    Starting at our designated meeting point of St Nicholas’ Basilica, we will firstly discuss the history of the city’s primary Roman Catholic Church. Built at the end of the 19th century at a time when Roman Catholics could once again profess their faith in public after three centuries of prohibition, the building is a blend of different architectural styles and artistic movements.
    10 minutes
  • Weeping Tower, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    We will then make our way towards the Schreierstoren, often known as the Tower of Tears or Weeper’s Tower. Originally part of the medieval city wall of Amsterdam, this tower is mainly known for the belief that women wept there for their husbands who would leave from the port to go to war or to fish.
    10 minutes
  • Zeedijk, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    We will then walk through an area known to be the Chinatown of Amsterdam. Zeedijk is a street in the old centre of Amsterdam and consists of a number of Asian markets, restaurants and shops, as well as the Zeedijk Buddhist temple, known to be the largest Chinese style Buddhist temple in Europe.
    10 minutes
  • Museum Ons'Lieve Heer Op Solder, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    We will briefly walk by and discuss the Museum Our Lord in the Attic, one of the most cherished museums in Amsterdam. The attic of this bourgeois’ house conceals a secret Catholic Church originally built in 1663, when Catholics lost their right to workship in their own way.
    10 minutes

    Next we will see the monumental church De Oude Kerk (the Old Church) which dominates over the Red Light District.

    10 minutes
  • Nieuwmarkt, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    From here, we will make our way to the lively nightspot and market square, Nieuwmarkt which is found in the old city centre. This spot has been a centre for commerce and socialising in Amsterdam since the 17th century as the square’s location just inside the old city gate made it a convenient spot for traders and shoppers looking for fresh produce.
    10 minutes
  • In de Waag, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    During our time at Nieuwmarkt, we will also see what is known as “De Waag”, a 15th century building that is one of Amsterdam’s oldest remaining non-religious buildings.

    10 minutes
  • Trippenhuis, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
    Moving on, we will see both the Trippenhuis & Klein Trippenhuis. While the Trippenhuis is Amsterdam’s widest home, spanning an enormous 22m, the Klein Trippenhuis is one of Amsterdam’s narrowest houses located right across from the Trippenhuis.

We did the walking tour right when we got to Amsterdam. It was a great way to get San understanding of the city. Henk, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and focused the tour on our interests. He even sent me some information after our tour that he knew I was interested in. We loved having coffee with him at the end of tour so we could ask questions and guidance for our stay.
