Canal Ring — Behind the Facades
22 min audio | 5 stops
Amsterdam looks orderly because the disorder was hidden well. This walk starts with tax-built facades and narrow houses that learned to lie, then moves into wartime hiding and the moral cost of survival. From there, the route follows Golden Age trade money into underground churches and ends with the painter's secrets Rembrandt left in plain sight.
