Amsterdam walking tour

	amsterdamhouses In the past people had to pay taxes on the width of the houses. So they built narrow, high and deep houses. Are you planning a visit to Amsterdam? #amsterdamhouses #amsterdam #amsterdam_guide #amsterdamtravel #guide_service_amsterdam #visitholland #guide_in_amsterdam #walking_tour_amsterdam #introduction_tour_amsterdam #amsterdamstreets #amsterdambeauty #citytrip #traveltips #your_private_guide_in_the_netherlands #iamsterdam
	amsterdamhouses 2 Since most of the houses are narrow, there isn’t much space for the staircases either, they are also narrow and steep. Which made it difficult to bring merchandise or furniture up to the higher floors. This is why the buildings have a hoist. Can you see the rope suspended from one of them? #amsterdamhouses #amsterdamcity #guide_in_amsterdam #visitamsterdam #citytrip #guide_service_amsterdam #amsterdam_walking_tour #besuchensieholland #amsterdamstreets #typicalamsterdam #your_private_guide_in_the_Netherlands #amsterdamtrip #iamsterdam #sunnyday

	history In the 17th C warehouses in Amsterdam were used to store merchandise brought back by the Dutch East India Company, such as pepper, cloves, mace, nutmeg, cinnamon. Until the time of Napoleon, houses didn’t have numbers, they had names, these storehouses were called the spoonbill. #history #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #travel #Speicherhäuser #fremdenführerinamsterdam #iamsterdam #visitholland #guideserviceamsterdam #citytrip #wochenendeinamsterdam
	the amsterdam flag The Amsterdam flag, based on the coat of arms of the city, consists of two red lines with a black line in the middle. Often, a line represents a river. In this case the Amstel river. On the black line there are three St. Andrew’s crosses. The crosses used to be part of the coat of arms of an important landowner in the 13th C called Persijn. It is said that the 3 crosses stood for the dangers in the past: water, fire and the plague. The coat of Amsterdam can be found on many historical buildings in the city. #the_amsterdam_flag #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #holland #iamsterdam #citytrip #fremdenfüherinamsterdam #iloveamsterdam #beiunsinamsterdam #guideserviceamsterdam #stadtführung #traveltips #walkingtouramsterdam #biketouramsterdam #history #storytelling #visitthenetherlands

	amsterdam bike tour With over 22.9 million bicycles in the Netherlands, there are more bicycles than inhabitants. The Dutch have on average 1.3 bicycles per person (in the USA 0.3). Most of the country is flat and there are 37,000 km (almost 23,000 miles) of bike paths, which makes it a good destination for bicycle tours. In 2019 the Dutch travelled a whopping 17.6 billion km (almost 11 billion miles) by bike, 25% of all traffic movement is done by bicycle. Join me on a biketour!

	amsterdam castle Muiderslot, also known as ‘Amsterdam castle’, is located in Muiden, at the mouth of the river Vecht. The castle dates back to the 13th century. It was built on a strategic point to enforce toll on traders travelling on the Vecht. In 1296 count Floris V was imprisoned in the castle, when he tried to escape he was killed by the noblemen that had conspired against him. In the 17th century, for 39 years, the poet PC Hooft was the bailiff for the Gooi area. He used to spend his summers at the Muiderslot. He invited fellow poets, writers and scholars for visits. The group became known as the Muiderkring. Nowadays the castle is a national museum. #amsterdam_castle #muiderslot #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #biketouramsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #citytrip #fahrradtouramsterdam #fremdenführerinamsterdam #beiunsinamsterdam #iamsterdam #history #visitholland #amsterdamworld

	street markets You can find markets in many neighborhoods of Amsterdam. Some of them are there on every weekday and on Saturday. Others, like the Noordermarkt on Saturdays and Mondays. There has been a market at the foot of the Noorderkerk since 1623. It started out as a market for pots and earthenware, later rags, pigeons, hats and straw were also sold. Since 1987 the Noordermarkt became a farmers market on Saturdays. On Monday morning you can find a lot of vintage clothes there and on the nearby Lindengracht there is a fabric market. On both days you can also find antiques, curiosities, glass ware and artwork. Don’t forget to taste the famous apple pie at Winkel 43, you’ll see people line up for this treat! #street_markets #noordermarkt #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #citytrip #amsterdamworld #guide_service_amsterdam #walkingtouramsterdam #fremdenführerinamsterdam #amsterdammarkets #visitthenetherlands #besuchensieamsterdam #dutchapplepie #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #wheretonext
	biketour The Western islands. At the beginning of the 17th century 3 islands were created on the West side of Amsterdam; the front island, middle island and aft island. Today they are known as the Bickerseiland, Prinseneiland and Realeneiland. They used to house the wharfs and storehouses of the Dutch West India Company, and in the 18th century salt stores, fish smokehouses and tanneries. Nowadays it is a nice residential area with hidden gardens. #biketour #iamsterdam #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #fremdenfüherinamsterdam #fahrradtour #visitamsterdam #amsterdamworld #guide_service_amsterdam #iloveamsterdam #besuchensieholland #citytrip #traveltips

	herengracht The oldest house on Herengracht. At the beginning of the 17th century the city of Amsterdam was expanded by digging the famous canal belt. A small canal that had been dug in 1585 was enlarged in 1612 and given the name Herengracht( gentlemen’s canal). The house with the green shutters was built in 1590 and is now the oldest residence on the canal. #herengracht #visitamsterdam #iamsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #walking_tour_amsterdam #citytrip #fremdenführerinamsterdam #besuchensieholland #traveltips #photooftheday #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #amsterdamworld
	summer in the city Summertime! Amsterdam consist for more than 25% of waterways. There are approx. 100 kms of canals, there is the Amstel and the IJ. And there are lakes like the Gaasperplas and the Sloterplas. To the East of the city there is the Markermeer, part of the bigger IJsselmeer. In the lake artificial islands have been created that form a new part of the city called IJburg. On the other side of the lake is the quaint village called Durgerdam. #summer_in_the_city #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #citytrip #durgerdam #guide_service_amsterdam #privatführerinamsterdam #visitholland #iloveamsterdam #fahrradtouramsterdam #besuchensieholland #yourprivateguideinamsterdam
	zuiderkerk The Zuiderkerk(southern-church). This church was the first church to be built at the beginning of the 17th century especially for protestant worship. The architect was Hendrick de Keijser. After the ‘Alteration’ of 1578 when the catholic government of the city was replaced by a protestant government the catholic churches were converted into places of worship for the protestants. Catholics were no longer allowed to openly worship at the time, instead they used ‘schuilkerken’ , hidden churches. #zuiderkerk #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #walkingtouramsterdam #fremdenführerinamsterdam #visitthenetherlands #guide_service _amsterdam #citytrip #biketouramsterdam #besuchensieholland #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #holiday
	houseboats Already in the 17th century there were houseboats in Amsterdam. They belonged to foreign traders in glass-and earthenware who sold their merchandise illegally. In the 19th century there were ships all over the city, they were used as housing for the laborers.The wooden barges were replaced by steel barges. In the 1920’s the number of houseboats increased from 85 to over 1100 due to housing shortage. After the Second World War the number increased once more, especially in the sixties and seventies, the Hippie era. Nowadays there are over 2500 houseboats in Amsterdam. #houseboats #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #citytrip #guide_service_amsterdam #iamsterdam #amsterdamcanals #traveltips #fremdenführerinamsterdam #walkingtouramsterdam #visitholland #storyteller

	dutch street food Amsterdam street food. At many locations in the city you can find these fish carts. They sell, amongst other things, the famous Dutch herring. In the 14th century a man called Willem Beukelsz thought up a way to keep the fish longer fresh, the gutting or gibbing of the herring. This enabled the fishermen to stay longer at sea. The fish was salted ( and nowadays frozen) and then matured slowly. So we eat them raw, with chopped onions and/or pickles. During the months of June, July and August you can find the Hollandse nieuwe, a herring that has at a fat percentage of at least 16% and is gutted, salted and filleted in the traditional Dutch way. #dutch_street_food #visitholland #hollandse_nieuwe #guideservice_amsterdam #matjes #fremdenführerinamsterdam #besuchensieholland #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #citytrip #haring #walkingtouramsterdam #matjesherring #street_food #yourprivateguideinamsterdam
	leaning houses Many houses in the city centre are leaning, like this group of houses on the Amstel. The city lies beneath the sea level, and the ground is very soft. Before we can build houses, we need to lay a foundation of piles. There are around 60 piles beneath a house, with a lenght between 12-20 meters. At a depht of 12 meters and again 20 meters there are sand layers. The piles are driven into the soil till they rest on the sand. In the past wooden piles were used, the city rests on 11 million piles. As long as those piles remained under water, they were like stone, but if the groundwater level changed, the piles started to rot. Hence the leaning. #leaning_houses #amsterdamstories #guideserviceamsterdam #amsterdamcanals #walkingtouramsterdam #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #citytrip #fremdenführerinamsterdam #amstelriver #iloveamsterdam #visitamsterdam #summerinthecity #photooftheday #cityvibes #wanderlust
	amsterdam port The Amsterdam is a copy of an 18th century trade ship. It was built for a regatta called Sail Amsterdam that has taken place in August every 5 years since 1975.

	amsterdam architecture The Amsterdam opera house stands on an artificial island called Vlooienburg that was created in the bend of the Amstel around 1608. The quays of the island were used for wood storage and the island housed from the middle of the 17th century several orphanages. It was part of the Jewish quarter. After WW II the buildings in the area were in a bad shape, and were demolished to create space for a new city hall designed by the Austrian architect Wilhelm Holzbauer. After many years of protests it was decided to combine the city hall with a new music hall( opera & ballet) designed by the Dutch architect Cees Dam. #amsterdam_architecture #amstelriver #visitamsterdam #guideserviceamsterdam #fremdenführerinamsterdam #citytrip #walkingtouramsterdam #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #iloveamsterdam #summerinthecity #cityvibes #amsterdamstories

	amsterdam view The St. Nicholas church is the 3rd church in Amsterdam dedicated to the patron saint of sailors. The first church, built at the beginning of the 14th C, was converted into a calvinist church after the Alteration of 1578 and is now known as the Old church. When in the 17th and 18th C it wasn’t possible for catholics to openly worship, a canal house belonging to a rich merchant was used as a ‘schuilkerk’ or hidden church. The building still exists and now houses the Onze lieve heer op solder (our Lord in the attic) museum. The church you see on this photo was built at the end of the 19th C in neo-baroque style. #amsterdam_view #visitamsterdam #guide_service_amsterdam #amsterdamhistory #walkingtour_amsterdam #fremdenfuehrerin_amsterdam #bike_tour_amsterdam #besuchensieholland #your_private_guide_in_amsterdam #citytrip #amsterdamstories #traveltips #nicolaaskerk
	amsterdam stories 2 Schreierstoren. The Schreierstoren used to be part of the 15th Century city wall. It’s name is derived from Schrayershouck, meaning a sharp corner or angle. But the Dutch word schreien also means to cry. So we call it the tower of tears or the weeping tower because this was the place where the wives said good bye to the sailors when they left. #amsterdam_stories #citytrip #guide_service_amsterdam #visitamsterdam #walkingtour_amsterdam #beautifulcity #fremdenführerinamsterdam #bike_tour_amsterdam #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #schreierstoren

	amsterdamstories 3 Facade stones. Until the time of Napoleon, houses didn’t have numbers, they had names. The names were in the shape of a facade stone or written on the shutters.

	amsterdamstories 4 Until the 1500’s all the houses in Amsterdam were wooden houses. Due to fire hazard, that was no longer allowed; people had to start building stone houses. Since our country is very flat, there was not a lot of natural stone, so this had to be imported. We do have a lot of lakes and rivers, and therefor clay, we used the clay to make bricks, which became the main building material. There are only a few wooden buildings left, like this one at the Begijnhof. #amsterdamstories #amsterdam #amsterdamguide #amsterdamtravel #begijnhof #guide_service_amsterdam #citytrip #walkingtour #walkingtouramsterdam #yourguideinamsterdam #amsterdamstreets #visitamsterdam #woodenhouses #holland #guide_in_amsterdam
