	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

	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

	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

	ketikoti On July 1st 1863 slavery was abolished in the Dutch colony Suriname (although the formerly enslaved people had to stay on working for minimal pay for another 10 years) and the Dutch Antilles. This day is celebrated as Keti Koti, the chain is cut, or the chain is broken in Sranantongo. It’s also known as Emancipation Day (St Maarten) or Dia di lucha pa libertat. Since 2002 in the Oosterpark in Amsterdam there is the Nationaal Monument Slavernij geschiedenis (National Monument Slavery History) designed by Erwin de Vries. A ceremony will take place at the monument and in other cities in the Netherlands. Also, on 20 locations in the city people can enjoy heri heri (healing) a dish that originated on the plantations. Volunteers of KIP Republic prepared 10,000 portions of this dish, that contains cassava, plantain, sweet potato, bakkeljauw(salted and dried cod) and egg. #ketikoti #july1st #oosterpark #vistamsterdamwithaprivateguide #diadiluchapalibertat #emancipationday #guideserviceamsterdam #visitholland #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #heriheri #freedom #remember
	dutch traditions Only a few times a year you will find the Dutch red white and blue flag attached to private homes: on April 27th, King’s day, with an extra orange ribbon in honor of the House of Oranje(orange). On May 4th, Remembrance Day (half mast), on May 5th, Liberation Day. And in the months of June and July the flag might appear on some houses with a backpack attached: it means that an adolescent in the home graduated, and no longer needs the study books! #dutch_traditions #visitholland #abitur #beiunsinholland #visitamsterdamwithaprivateguide #fremdenfühererin_in_amsterdam #guideserviceamsterdam #visitthenetherlands #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #aboutthedutch #amsterdamstories
	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
	magere brug The Magere Brug (Skinny bridge). Originally at the end of the 17th century a broad monumental stone bridge was planned on this spot. Due to economic setbacks the plan was changed, and a more modest and narrow bridge was built, hence the name skinny bridge. #magere_brug #visitamsterdam #amstelriver #guideserviceamsterdam #walkingtouramsterdam #besuchensieamsterdam #fremdenführerinamsterdam #cityvibes #iloveamsterdam #amsterdamstories #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #beautifulcities
	amsterdam stories The Montelbaanstoren is an old defense tower on the East side of the old town dating back to the 16th century. The white upper part was added in the 17th century. In the 16th century watchmen used the tower to check for fires in the city, especially on the shipyards. If the alarm was sounded the people from the neighborhood had to form a human chain and pass the bucket to help extinguish the fire. In the 17th century Jan van der Heijden invented the first firehose. #amsterdam_stories #visitamsterdam #guideserviceamsterdam #walkingtouramsterdam #traveltips #fremdenführerinamsterdam #visitholland #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #summerinthecity #amsterdamhistory #iloveamsterdam #montelbaanstoren
	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 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 The Begijnhof is a hidden gem in the centre of the city. Dating back to the Middle Ages, a Begijnhof (Béguinage) was a courtyard (hofje) where catholic ladies lived. It was not a convent, the houses were private property and after the Alteration (reformation) in 1578 the ladies continued living there, but their church was transformed into a Presbyterian church, (the English church)and they could no longer openly worship. In 1671 a schuilkerk (hidden church) was created from two houses opposite the church (nowadays the Miracle church). On the Begijnhof you can also find one of two remaining wooden houses. #amsterdamstories #begijnhof #guide_service_amsterdam #visitamsterdam #fremdenfuehrerin_amsterdam # amsterdamhofjes #amsterdambeauty #amsterdamview #walking_tour_amsterdam #amsterdamworld #yourprivateguideinamsterdam #traveltips #iamyourguideinamsterdam #iloveamsterdam #besuchensieamsterdam #cityvibes
