Itinerary
1. Holland’s version of the Louvre is a must, and this tour will introduce first-time visitors to the impressive and expansive collection that curates Dutch history over the centuries. For those who aren’t familiar with Dutch culture, we will explore its rich and vibrant past through a selection of paintings and artifacts from the 8000 objects on display. We’ll explore familiar names like Rembrandt while discussing lesser known items like 17th century dollhouses and Vermeer’s portrait of domesticity, “The Milkmaid.” There’s even a fascinating 19th century library containing more stories than we could ever tell. By the end, you’ll have a good overview of the museum’s collection and you may even know how to pronounce its name correctly. Highlights Include: (if artwork is not on loan or being restored etc.) Rembrandt masterworks The Night watch The Jewish Bride The Syndics of the Drapers' Guild Vermeer's The Milkmaid 19th century library 17th century dollhouses, globes, ship replica, and Delft ceramics
2. After gathering at the meeting point, Cobra Café, we will head towards the Singelgracht canal, the waterway that borders the entire centre of Amsterdam. This canal formely formed the outer defences of the city. We will then go to the Spiegelgracht, another canal in the centre of Amsterdam, and which is part of the Canals of Amsterdam designated as a UNESCO world heritage site, where we will see lots of art galleries and antiques.
3. You will also see the Emperor’s Canal, the middle of the three main canals in Amsterdam. Names after the Emperor Maximillian of Austria it is the widest canal in the inner city.
4. Next you will be taken to the Museum Van Loon, a museum in a canalside house alongside the Keizersgracht. It is known to be the house of Ferdinad Bol, Rembrandt’s favorite pupil.
5. After this, we will then walk through the flower market where you will see the Munttoren (“Mind Tower”). The tower was originally part of one of the main gates in Amsterdam’s medieval city wall.
