About this quest

Explore the booming Noord, the part of Amsterdam to the North of the river IJ! Take some perfect pictures of the river and the ships sailing by, then learn both about the working-class, industrial past as well as the dynamic present of this neighbourhood. You'll be able to savour Dutch street food staples at a street market (Wed, Fri, Sat) - but on other days too you'll have plenty of options to stop by a cosy cafe or a snack.

Highlights

Learn about the changing nature of Amsterdam Noord: marvel at modern architecture and venture in a classic 1920's Amsterdam neighbourhood. Explore cosy local shops along the Van der Pek street. Taste local treats on a street market (Wed, Fri, Sat) or in local cafes.

This was fun! I thought I knew Amsterdam like the back of my hand, but this app proved me wrong in the best way possible. It turns exploring into an adventure, making even familiar streets feel fresh and exciting! Whether you’re a lifelong Amsterdammer or a curious tourist, this is a must-try experience. Highly recommended!
