This Amsterdam Noord bike tour would suit those who want to see the city from a completely different perspective: modern, innovative, creative, and a bit anarchic; those who like the idea of combining it with a bike ride and feel like a real Amsterdamer.

There are no humpbacked bridges, 17th-century houses, Red Light District, or canals here. Instead, there is something else that makes the city vibrant and full of ideas and does not allow it to plunge into a steady measured life. Every square meter is packed with fantastic innovations and art clusters, environmental projects, and social initiatives. The caring attitude of the Dutch people towards their centuries-old traditions is surprisingly combined with an irrepressible passion for new technologies and art. Most of these unique places hide from bypassers in abandoned shipyards or former industrial areas. Amsterdam Noord is a real hidden gem only for those who know about it. And therefore even more cherished by the locals.

This bike tour of a completely different Amsterdam might become one of the most unforgettable adventures of your trip to the Netherlands. Shall we do it?

  • We'll wander through a trendy, sustainable floating neighborhood, where each house boasts its unique design, and visit a fully autonomous and sustainable eco-village.
  • We'll see how a silo was transformed into a distinctive and extraordinary residential building and learn about the unique way of life within it.
  • And we'll also see traditional neighborhoods with universally beloved houses with tiled roofs.
  • We'll encounter numerous interesting murals, installations, and other street art.
  • We'll drop by the former Amsterdam shipyards and stroll through a container village of architects, designers, and artists.
  • We'll enjoy coffee or beer at a very charming spot.
  • And we'll even visit the beach.
Once a month on a weekend, Amsterdam Noord hosts the largest European flea market. We might catch it with some luck during our Amsterdam Noord biking tour.

Uncover the Stories: Art, Community, and Contemporary Life

Why can't you say "yup" in North Amsterdam? Where do the "pirates" hang out? How can you snag a masterpiece of world painting for 15-20 euros? How do you become the owner of water? Let's find out!

On our Amsterdam Noord bike tour, we'll dive into the life of the modern city. We'll view the city through the lens of architecture, mind-blowing innovations, ecological projects, and social initiatives. We'll discuss how Amsterdam revitalizes former industrial zones and reforms economically disadvantaged areas. We'll talk about green energy, sustainable communities, and unique social projects. We'll tell you about amazing modern local projects: marine skyscrapers, floating farms, devices to clean the world's oceans of trash, modular homes, nomadic houses, and much more. We'll discover how the national love for potatoes aids urban development and what the future holds for 3D-printed houses. And, of course, amidst such a wealth of street art, we can't skip discussing contemporary art and its role in modern society.

This is a private tour. So, we'll talk about what interests you the most, whether it's economics, education, architecture, ecology, counterculture, or fantastic innovative projects.

Engage and Experience: Local Tastes and Interactive Activities

We'll discover many unique places tourists normally don't even know about. We'll see Amsterdam from the water. We'll try to find an entrance to one of the city's most expensive hotels – trust us, it won't be easy. We'll listen to what the North Sea wind has to tell us. We'll learn how Amsterdam's "pirates" make a living. We'll find where the good spirit of Amsterdam resides. And do you want to leave your graffiti in Amsterdam as a keepsake? That's possible! Just don't forget to bring a spray can.

And, of course, we'll take great pictures, enjoy coffee with apple pie or beer with local snacks at a very charming place, and might even dance salsa on the beach.

It's going to be a wonderful walk! Or should we say, a wonderful Amsterdam cycle tour? Let's go!

* We highly recommend joining the "Your Own Amsterdam. Unexpected Treasures of the City" sightseeing tour before this one. And, of course, don't forget to cycle around the city or its surroundings and enjoy a canal cruise. This experience is not to be missed! After all, we are in Amsterdam!

Perhaps, you still have some questions. This is what we get asked about most of the time.
