Self-Guided Walking Tours in Netherlands

3 free self-guided walking tours, with an audio guide at every stop.

Amsterdam's 17th-century canal ring is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the city's story of merchants, tolerance and war can be read from its gables, courtyards and church towers.

Our self-guided walk starts on Dam Square at the Royal Palace, slips into the Begijnhof courtyard, follows the Herengracht to the Golden Bend, and reaches the Westerkerk and the Anne Frank House before ending in the Jordaan. About 65 minutes and 3 km.

Free, no app, no signup: the narration for each stop plays as you arrive.
