Despre activitate
Every city has its legends. Amsterdam has hundreds.
Some are based on real events. Others grew with every generation that retold them. During this walking tour, you'll discover how history and folklore became intertwined, and why these stories still shape the city today.
Together with one of our local guides, you'll explore more than ten remarkable locations in Amsterdam's historic centre, including the Begijnhof, the House with the Bloodstains and Dam Square.
Unlike traditional storytelling tours, we don't stop at the legend. Drawing on years of research in archives, old newspapers and historical collections, we compare myth with historical evidence. Sometimes the legend is closer to the truth than you might expect. Sometimes reality turns out to be even more remarkable.
During the tour you can also play our Urban Legend Bingo, spotting clues hidden in both the stories and the city around you.
Join us and discover the Amsterdam that history books don't tell on their own.
