Amsterdam: creativity along the water canals

11 locations
Amsterdam accommodates over 160 canals built in the 17th century, also known as the Dutch Golden Age. At the time, the canals stimulated the city’s textile, wood and diamond trade, and nurtured emerging flower designers, fabric and glass sculptors, jewellery and furniture makers. On our itinerary you will find contemporary artisans who continue to craft along these canals and whose creative vision is shaped by the city and its fairways.
