Amsterdam Express
Dam, Oude Kerk and Jordaan in 1 hour
- Dam SquareWelcome to Dam Square, the historical and political heart of Amsterdam. This vast esplanade takes its name from the original dam built on the Amstel river around 1270, which gave birth to the city.
- Oude KerkHere is the Oude Kerk, or 'Old Church', the city's oldest building, consecrated in 1306. Located ironically in the heart of the Red Light District, this Gothic church has seen Amsterdam evolve from a simple fishing village into a global power.
- Jordaan CanalsWelcome to the Jordaan, arguably the most picturesque and authentic neighborhood in Amsterdam. Once a working-class and artisan district in the 17th century, it has now become the city's bohemian heart.
