Product Info

-What you can expect-
Discover Rembrandt's Amsterdam with an immersive audio tour on your smartphone. Once you've downloaded the digital self-guided audio tour 'Following the footsteps of Rembrandt in Amsterdam' on your smartphone, you will be ready to set out on a walking tour in the streets and the canals of the city where the iconic painter lived, worked and was inspired.

Begin in the famed Dam square, in front of the Royal Palace of Amsterdam, where you will be introduced to the dynamics that fueled the booming development of the city and the so-called Dutch Golden Age painting during the 17th century. Continue your walk toward De Wallen neighborhood, the medieval heart of Amsterdam, home to the lustful red-light district, to marvel at the oldest church of Amsterdam. As you admire the Waag building, listen to some interesting stories about Rembrandt's celebrated painting 'The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp'.

Enjoy a stroll in the scenic streets and stumble upon the canal houses of some of the painter’s most affluent clients, such as the Trippenhuis, the Star House and Jan Six’s house.

Follow the painters rapid rise to master painter and his later financial collapse as you walk by the places that inspired him, such as the stunning Zuiderkerk and the dreamy Blue Bridge. Your tour will end in front of the Rembrandthuis Museum where the Great painter lived a great part of his life and produced some of his masterpieces.
