19th century Amsterdam:
The birth of the modern world

Together, we will journey with you from Amsterdam Central Station. We'll see St Nicholas Cathedral, the old city hall that was turned into a royal palace, the bell tower that inspired Claude Monet, a monument to Rembrandt, and the home of Amsterdam's first female doctor. We will see the first Heineken brewery and the lavish International Theatre of Amsterdam. We'll cruise along the scenic Singel Canal, stop at the Waterlooplein flea market, and take a break in Vondelpark, the favorite park of not only Amsterdammers but also Indian ringneck parrots! We will visit the Museum square, the luxurious Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, the Stedelijk Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Royal Concertgebouw, one of the world's top three symphony halls. And those are just the major, well-known places. We can't even count how many picturesque canals, bridges, and houses we'll encounter on our breathtaking journey, each with a story of its own.

And throughout the tour, we will tell you how the modern world was born. We will talk about the revolutions that changed European society, colonialism, industrialization, and the economy. We will explore the ideas of nationalism and patriotism of the time, new rights for different social classes, and new directions in art!

This route covers almost the entire old town. And if we get tired of the excitement, we'll stop at a café - with excellent coffee and a delicious apple pie. Come and visit!
