Description:

Few neighborhoods fuse urban flair with history like Jordaan. Walk along charming canals on small streets lined with trendy bars and art galleries. As you listen to your private guide, learn how the area transformed from a poor district to a desirable hotspot.

Take a leisurely stroll through the maze of cobbled streets in one of the most charming districts of Amsterdam. Listen to engaging narrative from your private guide, who helps you step back in time to the 17th century, when the area was a melting pot of laborers and immigrants. Many of these new inhabitants moved from France and called their new home “Jardin,” which later become “Jordaan” in Dutch.

Learn about the ups and downs of the neighborhood's past and how a revitalization plan brought prosperity. See an enchanting hofje (inner court garden), admire the imposing towers and church organ of Westerkerk (an old Protestant church), and on Mondays and Saturdays, visit a vibrant local market. At a delightful café or pub, stop for a drink and some people watching in this bohemian community.
