About Walks Amsterdam

“The way we see things is affected by what we know or what we believe.”
John Berger

This city isn’t a museum piece. It breathes. It creaks when it rains. It hides things in plain sight. Every corner, every crooked house, every carved stone has a story, if you slow down long enough to notice.

Walks Amsterdam started as a way to do just that. To walk, to look, to listen. To find the quiet details that make the city pulse: a sculptor’s secret face on a bridge, a gable stone that outlasted its owner, a heron standing guard like it owns the canal.

Walks Amsterdam is not just a guide, it’s an invitation to see differently.
