Secret Spots of Amsterdam: Unveil Hidden Gems

Discover the Begijnhof

Nestled in a corner away, from the city hub lies the Begijnhof. A cherished gem in Amsterdam with a rich historical background dating back to the 14th century when it was established for the Beguines community. This peaceful haven provides visitors with a peek into Amsterdams past as they stroll through its quaint streets lined with buildings and the picturesque Begijnhof Chapel where one can savor moments of peace and quiet, amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.

Exploring the De Otter Windmill

Near Amsterdam’s attractions lies the lone survivor of its kind. The windmill known as De Otter built in 1631 stands tall as a symbol of Dutch culture and history rather, than just a pretty sight to see in the citys skyline. Although its not available for guided tours to the public regularly; catching sight of this windmill from the neighboring streets or waterways provides a special glimpse, into Amsterdam’s vibrant past and heritage connection.

Venture into The Seven Bridges of Reguliersgracht

If you appreciate a walk and picturesque views, in Amsterdam city center area that's Reguliersgracht where you'll find some of the most charming canal scenes around town! A standout feature is the spot where seven arched bridges align one after the other – truly a sight to behold! Especially as dusk falls and the bridges illuminate the surroundings with an allure that bathes the canal waters in a glow. Capturing unforgettable moments in photographs would be ideal, during this time.
