Почерк Амстердама: увидеть и разгадать! Начнём наше путешествие с прогулки вдоль каналов по старейшим районам города: здесь и важные исторические объекты, и танцующие пряничные домики на воде, самая узкая постройка в мире и офис богатейшей компании всех времён. По пути я расскажу, как люди живут в лодках и почему Амстердам считается столицей велосипедов. А на площади Рембрандта, возле монумента «ночной дозор», мы поговорим о символике картины и судьбе великого художника. Кроме того, вы заглянете в самый древний и таинственный дворик города — Бегинхоф, пройдётесь по площади, откуда началась его история, и увидите главный балкончик страны. Чтобы вкусно завершить встречу, мы посетим бутик настоящего голландского сыра и настоящую голланскую селедку матиас
