mp3cityguides Guide to Amsterdam

Audiobook (Includes supplementary content)

Our tour starts at Anne Frank's House and then, over the next four or five hours, depending on how many breaks you take, we'll guide you to the beautiful Westerkerk church telling you want to look out for and explaing what you're looking at as you see it. Then, we'll take you to the city's simple, but moving, monument to its gay residents who have suffered over the years – and give you the low down on the city's famous canals.

We'll tell you about the history of Amsterdam and, further on, we'll explain the meaning of the 'XXX' that you'll see everywhere and reveal where the term 'Dutch courage' comes from.

As you stroll through the Flower Market we'll tell you why it is that tulips are always associated with Amsterdam. Later as you stand outside Rembrandt's House we'll explain why, despite his talent and fame, the city's most famous painter lead such a tragic life.

As we pick out the other sites such as Dam Square and the quaint Bergijnhof plus the notorious Red Light District we'll tell you about why this unique city looks like it does and what is being done to preserve it so you'll have a sense of the real Amsterdam as it is today - not just the picture post card image.
