New Amsterdam Alternative Tour

Experience Amsterdam’s underground culture

Amsterdam is a city like no other, known for its iconic landmarks, monuments and bicycles. As you’ll learn on this two-hour guided walk, the city is also well known for its liberal laws, coffee shops, alternative housing arrangements and being the first in the world to recognise marriage equality. Delve into the alternative scene that makes Amsterdam a must-visit destination for visitors interested in subcultures. Explore such facets of Amsterdam society as the post-WWII housing crisis that led to the phenomenon of living in boats or in squats, and the counterculture movements that developed into today’s unmatched cityscape of unique coffee shops and street art. This is an opportunity to experience an authentic side of Amsterdam that’s not typically included in traditional city tours. The tour is available in English or Spanish and departs from Dam Square every day at 15:00. Look for the guides with the red umbrella's!
