DESCRIPTION
Bike Tour Amsterdam
Indulge yourself in a great way to explore Amsterdam with a guided bike ride. Cycle through the city center with a local guide by your side and learn interesting facts about Amsterdam’s history, culture, and local life.
Begin your adventure near the central station and immerse yourself in the charm of the Western Islands constructed during the Dutch Golden Age in the 174th century. Ride along picturesque canals and discover the cobblestone streets of Jordaan and the Nine Street district, renowned for their vibrant cultural scene.
Marvel at the Dutch Renaissance architecture and the distinctive tower of iconic Westerkerk. Pause and contemplate the importance of tolerance and human rights as you pass by the Anne Frank House, the place that holds deep historical significance to many.
Take in the lively atmosphere of the popular Leidse Square, where street performers entertain passersby. Take a well-deserved break in the Vondelpark, the largest park in Amsterdam, located in the heart of the city. Enjoy the tranquil ambiance and escape from the bustling city streets. Appreciate the contrast between historical and modern buildings on the Museumplein before exploring the grid-like streets of the De Pijp neighborhood.
Cross the Magere Brug Skinny Bridge, though it has been widened since its early days. Originally a narrow bridge where two pedestrians struggled to pass each other, it has retained its historical character despite many reconstructions over the years. Watch as the bridge opens up to allow boats to pass through, a feature adding to the uniqueness of the Magere Brug Skinny Bridge.
On your way back, pass the Maritime Museum and be mesmerized by the incredible life-sized replica of a Dutch East Indian Company ship. Learn how this powerful ship played a crucial role in the Dutch maritime empire during the 17th century.
