About this experience
Cutting through the capital like a seasoned Dutch cyclist, you will not only blend in perfectly, but also cover the most atmospheric places of Amsterdam in three hours! There will be beautiful bridges and canals, flea and flower markets, herring and chocolate stops, all sprinkled with lively and engaging stories!
What to expect
Preliminary briefing
All know that in Amsterdam, being a cyclist is an honorary title, and to earn it, one must know the rules well, respect other cyclists, and smile at each other on opposite roads. Before the journey, I will acquaint you with the special road signs and tell you about the basic principles of moving around the city. And, of course, I will accompany you throughout the journey, pausing in the most interesting places from time to time and telling you a little about everything: about the history of the Dutch capital, modern culture, and gastronomy (there will be two tasty stops along the route - herring and chocolate!).
Bright fragments of Amsterdam life
- The bike tour will start at Central Station, from where you will ride along the canals to a beautiful bridge, and then head to an observation deck with stunning views.
- You will see the country's largest science museum - Nemo, stop to take a closer look at an 18th-century ship, and head towards Nieuwmarkt Square, where bloody stories of the Middle Ages await you.
- You will navigate to the largest flea market in the Netherlands - Waterlooplein, to immerse yourself in the world of ancient items from antiquity to the present day: various paintings, figurines, clothing, and antiques.
- Continuing along the canals, you will encounter a flower market, and then visit Rembrandt Square, where I will tell you about the famous bronze installation 'Night Watch'.
- Next, you will ride through the heart of Amsterdam - Dam Square, where I will introduce you to a local wonder - the legendary palace on 14,000 piles, as well as the history of the capital's oldest church Nieuwe Kerk with a rather venerable organ.
- Rushing down one of the main streets of the city - Rokin, you will end up at the Begijnhof monastery, near which I will reveal interesting facts about a special religious movement and its representatives.
- The tour will end where it all began - at Central Station, where you will return the iron horses, and we will say goodbye until we meet again!
