Amsterdam, bike city.
has about 900.000 inhabitants and over a million bicycles. As a compact and relatively flat city, Amsterdam is perfect for cycling. The Dutch capital has limited space for automobiles, so one can see bikes as an extension of the legs: freedom.

There's a secret neighborhood in the centre of Amsterdam: the Lastage. Once this was the resting place for ships, docks and ship repair. Houseboats have now taken over the canals and the tranquility in the morning hours is unique in this bustling city.

Meet Amsterdam's oldest! The Oude Kerk (Old Church) is the oldest building of Amsterdam.
With the earliest remains dating back from 1306 it's a patchwork of architectural styles. From High Gothic , via Renaissance to the French Louis-styles of the 1700s.
The ceiling showcases Europe's oldest and largest wooden barrel vault structure. It was converted to a Protestant church in 1578, in the turmoil of the Dutch Revolt. Since then the pulpit is located centrally. Today the sacred atmosphere inside contrasts with the red lit streets around.
In 1633 Rembrandt announced his marriage with Saskia Van Uylenburg here. Saskia herself is also buried in the Old Church.
The Oude Kerk is a great place to enjoy a centuries old silence, in a sometimes loud city.

The beautiful Bartolotti house. Probably the most beautiful house on the Amsterdam canals. Built for Willem van der Heuvel, who inherited the fortune of his childless uncle Bartolotti, an Italian banker.
Architect Hendrick de Keyser is also known for his Noorderkerk, Zuiderkerk and the V.O.C. headquarters. His style is called Dutch Manerism, a mix of Italian Renaissance and Flemish influences, fitting in with the bend of the Herengracht.
Today it is partly a museum house and partly the headquarters of the Hendrick de Keyser Foundation (HdK), which takes care of the Dutch monumental heritage.
Visit the Bartolotti House as part of the Historical Amsterdam Tours' Canal Ring Architecture tour. Your private guide will inform you about all aspects of the UNESCO-protected Amsterdam canal belt:

This is a bit of a homecoming: the heathlands near Laren, my birthplace. Here I climbed trees and built huts.
This 'flock of sheep' is painted by Anton Mauve, a first cousin of Vincent van Gogh and a pioneer in outdoor painting.
This masterpiece now hangs proudly in the Rijksmuseum, but the story doesn't end there.
Our expert art historians will bring the stories behind the brushstrokes to life.

Ahoy! In 1609 the Halve Maen set sail. Under the command of captain Henry Hudson the ship was send out by the Dutch East Indian Company, in order to find a new route to the far East. . Instead the Halve Maen ended up at the North American coastline, in the river that would later wear the captains name. The discoveries led to the founding of a West Indian Company which founded the merchant town of Nieuw Amsterdam. . This is a replica of the original jacht the Halve Maen, built in the New York bay and since a couple of years to be seen in several ports in the Netherlands.
