What to expect

1

Bloemgracht

This picturesque canal, lined with 17th-century townhouses, is often called “the prettiest in Amsterdam.” Once home to Rembrandt’s contemporaries, it’s a living postcard of golden-age elegance and bohemian charm.

2
Westerkerk

Pause at the iconic spire of the Westerkerk, towering above the Jordaan. Across the canal is the Anne Frank House, a solemn reminder of resilience and the power of a young girl’s voice.

3
9 Little Streets (Negen Straatjes)

A charming web of narrow streets brimming with vintage boutiques, independent galleries, and curated design shops. It’s Amsterdam’s creative retail heart and a perfect place for artistic inspiration.

4
Begijnhof

Tucked away behind an unmarked door, this serene medieval courtyard is a hidden world of peace and spiritual elegance. Home to centuries-old houses and a quiet English church, it's a moment of stillness in the city.

Duration 15 minutes
5
Rijksmuseum Gardens

As you approach the edge of the museum district, stroll past the manicured Rijksmuseum gardens—where sculptures and seasonal blooms mingle with history. It’s an open-air gallery that sets the stage for what's to come.

6

Vondelpark

End your stroll at Amsterdam’s lush urban oasis. With its winding paths, quiet ponds, and lively energy, Vondelpark is where locals come to breathe, sketch, dream—and where our painting session can begin.

Duration 90 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
