Did you know that Amsterdam is home to a Chinese Buddhist temple? 🏯✨ Nestled in the heart of the city, on the Zeedijk, the Fo Guang Shan He Hua Temple offers a peaceful escape from the crowded streets. Listen to our guide, Jugal, to learn the story of this temple (an extract from the performance at the Amsterdam Museum on the opening night of "Women of Amsterdam: an ode" exhibition). @jugal.bhinde #visitamsterdam #BadassTours #amsterdam #ChineseTemple #amsterdamchinatown #HiddenGems #CulturalHeritage

Amsterdam's Nieuwe Kerkstraat is a cozy street that used to be in the heart of the Ashkenazi neighborhood. Not all the buildings survived, but the Fernandes Nunes house still stands. 💜 Follow @badasstours for more stories from Amsterdam!

Do you know about the Six House in Amsterdam? The family that lived in this house perpetuated a tradition of sharing art: since the 1800s they've allowed guests to register to come see their art collection. The tradition continues to this day! 💜 Follow @badasstours for more stories from Amsterdam!

Unwanted Words offered us the chance to explore some of our favorite stories in queer history. Today's flashback: Katherine Fowler Philips, an English poet in the 1600s. She was the first woman to have a play performed in a professional theater. #storytelling #BadassWomen #BadassTours #lgbtqia #lgbtqhistory #storytellingamsterdam

Amsterdam is a city that didn't have much feudalism. From the beginning, it looks like Amsterdam was a trading city, and the traders created their own power, rather than relying on the nobility. 💜 Follow @badasstours for more stories from Amsterdam!

People forget sometimes that Joost van den Vondel, the Dutch playwright and poet who gave Vondelpark its name, was the child of religious refugees. He came here, like so many others, hoping for a place where he could live and follow his faith free of persecution. So I hope that's something we remember, as we go through our Amsterdam lives, that this is a city that was built by many immigrants and refugees! 💜 Follow @badasstours or book one of our tours for more stories from Amsterdam!
