Golden Age Tour Amsterdam
During the 1600s Amsterdam was the centre of world trade, art and the sciences. How did the city gain this position? Which role did the Royal Palace play during the era of the Dutch Republic? Revive this so-called ‘Golden Age’ with a private guide.
On this half day tour we visit the two greatest museums dedicated to the 1600s and stroll along the UNESCO world heritage listed Canal Ring. You will recognize the architectural differences of the merchants houses and get to know their illustrious dwellers.
Hidden in plain sight lies the monumental Royal Palace on the Dam, with its rough history and splendour. Get to know the secrets and the stories behind its architecture.
