About the tours
Bike Tour: “Go with the Flow” – featuring UNStudio architecture (English)
Hop on your bike and explore Amsterdam’s most expressive and fluid architecture with the Go with the Flow tour! Discover dynamic forms and sculptural façades that break away from rigid lines. The tour wraps up with an exclusive visit to the archive of the world-renowned architecture firm UNStudio.
Queer Architecture Bike Tour (English)
Amsterdam has long been a symbol of LGBTQIA+ acceptance, famously becoming the first city in the world to legalize same-sex marriage in 2001. But how is this spirit of openness reflected in the built environment? Discover the answer on the Queer Architecture Bike Tour, exploring inclusive and diverse housing projects throughout the city.
Bike Tour: Urban Renewal on Amsterdam’s Eastern Docklands
Amsterdam’s Eastern Docklands reflect nearly fifty years of architectural and urban transformation. Led by a professional architect, this tour takes you through the evolution of the area — from the urban renewal projects of the 1970s and 80s to the latest developments in Oostenburg-Noord.
Walking Tour: Nieuwmarktbuurt – Housing is a Right!
Discover the powerful history of Amsterdam’s Nieuwmarktbuurt, where residents and activists in the 1970s fought against demolition and top-down urban renewal. Led by an architect, this tour explores the impact of these protests and how the neighborhood evolved into a vibrant, affordable place to live — a story of resistance and collective action.
