Description

Meet your art expert guide at the ferry dock behind Amsterdam Central Station. After a short ferry ride across the historic IJ River, enjoy open views and a relaxed start as you head to the city’s creative center.

Arrive at NDSM Wharf, a former shipyard transformed into Amsterdam’s key street art hotspot and cultural area. Surrounded by large murals and industrial surroundings, spend around an hour exploring this open-air gallery while learning about the artists and their stories.

Return by ferry and continue the tour through Amsterdam’s medieval town, where street art is often hidden due to legal restrictions. In the Red Light District, find subtle, cleverly concealed works, and near Dam Square, discover small artworks tucked inside medieval alleyways. The 2.5-hour tour concludes here with time for questions, local tips, and a relaxed farewell.
