The Golden Age: Money, Art and Canals in Amsterdam: audio walks
Where did the wealth come from, and who painted it?
6 walks with different starting points and stories. Compare their maps, stops and duration, then choose where to begin.
Explore these walksMoney, art and canals offer a way through Amsterdam's Golden Age. These walks ask where wealth came from, who displayed it and who painted it. They connect places of trade and creative work with their protagonists, letting you look at the prosperous city while keeping the questions raised by that prosperity in view.
In “Mint Tower to the Golden Bend”: From a small boy's statue to the grandest canal houses, follow the money through southern Amsterdam.
In “Western Canals”: There is more behind these canal houses than wealth.
In “From Leidseplein to Museumplein”: From a theatre that fled the flames to a museum nicknamed the bishop's palace: the prison where the eight from the Secret Annex were held, a little house for the drowned, a cycle path running through the Rijksmuseum, and a painting that had its edges cut off.
Choose from 6 independent walks in Amsterdam. Open the one that interests you to see its map, stops and approximate duration before deciding. You don't need to do them all or follow this selection's order; each walk has its own starting and finishing points.

The Red-Light District and the Old Harbour

Amsterdam, before you go
Canals, bridges and narrow façades invite aimless walks. Enjoy them attentively: between the water, trams and bicycles, the best place to look is a clear patch of pavement.
