Amsterdam: Cultural Highlights City Tour in German｜Netherlands

Discover the most important landmarks in central Amsterdam on this walking tour and get a comprehensive overview of the city, its history and culture. Also explore the famous downtown canal belt, which is even a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our German-speaking guides will show you the most beautiful spots and give you the best advice.

Along the way, you will see highlights such as Dam Square with the Royal Palace and Madame Tussauds, the Torensluis Bridge, the Anne Frank House (from the outside), and the idyllic Begijnhof.

The tour starts at the place where Amsterdam was founded and at its heart: Dam Square. From there, you will pass by the Royal Palace, the Nieuwe Kerk, the former main post office, and continue on to the Torensluis Bridge.
Learn how the Golden Age made culture flourish, what traces World War II left behind, and how Amsterdam developed into the open and diverse city it is today.

Learn how art and creativity also developed in the Golden Age. Artists such as Rembrandt, whose works now hang in the Rijksmuseum, and Van Gogh, who has his own museum, the Van Gogh Museum, benefited greatly from the wealth generated by trade, though not necessarily during their lifetimes. The famous Heineken brewery also experienced a boom during the city's heyday. Today, the Heineken Experience has become an integral part of Amsterdam.

Discover one of the smallest houses in Amsterdam and learn about the traces of colonial history at the Multatuli statue. Stroll along the picturesque canals of the UNESCO-protected Canal Ring, pass the Anne Frank House and cross the Spui before reaching the hidden Begijnhof.

In addition to historical insights, you will also get insider tips from our German-speaking guides: from the most beautiful neighborhoods to the most delicious specialties you should try.
