Living in the Netherlands has been one of the most beautiful surprises for our family. Its quiet cultural greatness is something many people don't expect — but once here, you can feel it everywhere.
For us the Soul of Amsterdam is more than just Canals and Bikes.
In summer time this City is more than a postcard-perfect city of canals, flowers, and bikes. For the cultural traveler, it's a gateway into centuries of history, layered identities, and bold creativity, you will always find a concert, dance, spectacle for the whole family.
Whether it’s your first time in the city or your tenth, here are our favorite ways to connect deeply with Amsterdam's spirit — beyond the usual touristic checklist.
Here I present you some of my favorites activities:
Discover Amsterdam at your own pace and enjoy unlimited travel for 1 to 7 days on all trams, buses, ferries and the metro (day and night) for the number of days that suits your schedule the best.
🎨 Explore Dutch Masters in Their Element
Step inside the Rijksmuseum and meet Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van Gogh on their home turf. This isn’t just about art history — it’s about entering a space where light, emotion, and storytelling come alive on canvas.
🛶 See the City from Its Liquid Heart
Discover the unique atmosphere of Amsterdam at night on this evening cruise. See the thousands of lights that illuminate the bridges, and iconic canal houses and give the city a magical appearance.
🧀 Taste Amsterdam with All Five Senses
From Dutch cheese to stroopwafels, culture here is also edible. Why not join a local food tasting tour through De Jordaan or a cozy farmer’s market?

🕍 Discover Hidden History in the Jewish Quarter
Walk through a district filled with resilience, remembrance, and layers of memory. A guided Jewish Quarter tour brings powerful context to Amsterdam’s wartime past and its hope-filled present.
🧭 Let Amsterdam Change You
When your intention is to see deeper and beyond it is your heart who leads and a city like Amsterdam can do more than impress — it can transform. Listen. Taste. Float. Reflect. Learn. That's what Global Culture Traveler is all about: journeys that connect.
