This bike tour is about nineteenth-century Amsterdam. It was a tremendously vibrant time when, after a long period of stagnation and a century of hibernation, the country suddenly awakened and surged forward with full force - out of slums, impoverished villages, remarkably outdated technology, and, by Dutch standards, a monstrous level of stratification. This surge was so intense that the country once again became one of the most advanced economies in the world. And in such tumultuous times, not only did brilliant discoveries, extraordinary accomplishments, and noble deeds take place, but also considerably less admirable events. And how out of all this, in a very logical manner, a new world was born - the world we live in now.
On this bike tour of Amsterdam, you will see almost the whole city center and a myriad of exciting places that cannot be covered on a walking tour.

We will begin our bike tour at the Central Station of Amsterdam, which was a rather controversial building in the end of the 19th century and we will discuss what were the reasons for that.
We will visit a close by Saint Nicholas Cathedral and learn about the religious attitudes of that time period.
We will pass by the main square of the city, the Dam square, on which we will talk about Napoleon and the beginning of monarchy.
