Itinerary
1. "This is just the beginning; from here, we take you to medieval Amsterdam. What happened back then? What was considered normal? And most importantly, what were people afraid of? Stories suggesting you were a witch could cost you your life."
2. From this former town hall on Dam Square, judgments were delivered, marking a crucial place for justice in Amsterdam's history.
3. Amsterdam was once a harbor city, and from here you could look across the water to the gallows field on the other side of the IJ.
4. Do you know the painting by Rembrandt? It was here where the anatomy lesson took place, and Rembrandt painted it. The story goes that the arm was difficult to paint, so he took it home to replicate it.
5. These were just a few of the stops; there are many more on the tour. But to find out what they are, you have to join us—if you dare!
