Amsterdam's Renaissance & Golden Age: The Tale of a Modern city.
I’m a traveling nomad with a passion for architecture, history, and the unique aesthetics of cities. I offer lively, exciting tours that bring hidden urban stories to life — in English, Russian, French, and (to some extent) Spanish. Join me to discover a city’s soul through its streets, structures, and hidden corners.

I will be waiting next to the Obelisk in the middle of Dam Square, wearing a beige overcoat.
Description
Step into the soul of Amsterdam’s transformation from a medieval city into the capital of a Golden Age.
This walking tour uncovers the layered lives of a city on the rise: forged by trade, refined by guilds, and stirred by Renaissance thought and civic ambition. You'll wind through cobbled lanes, Renaissance façades, and Protestant silhouettes to explore how curiosity, artistry, and moral order helped build a republic that viewed the world with both wonder and precision.
🎓 Perfect for lovers of early modern history, Dutch painting, Renaissance, and the hidden tensions beneath Amsterdam’s polished façade.
