Want to experience what the Jordaan neighbourhood is all about? On this discovery walk, you’ll follow in the footsteps of Secret City Trails co-founders, Kristina & Wendy. The fun riddles they created will send you exploring fascinating locations and learning about them along the way. From comedy to mini-sandwiches, secret speakeasy bars and the best apple pie, Jordaan’s local wonders will stay in your memory for a long time. And you may learn a new thing or two about Rembrandt, Anne Frank, and Dutch customs.

 

This playful walk across Amsterdam’s picturesque neighbourhoods sharpens your senses and encourages you to appreciate the most wonderful – and often hidden – details around you. Whether you know Amsterdam or just start exploring here, this experience gives you a perspective on discovery that will inspire your curiosity wherever you go next.

    It was ok, but hard to navigate with all the bike and pedestrian traffic.

    So much fun, also for a cynical teen.

    We ate really good bacon but also saw a lot of the city and explored a beautiful neighbourhood. Still don’t know what a yellow giant is?!
