1602 had co-founded the Dutch East-India Company and thus the family’s fortunes. The portraits and fine furnishings reflect the stature of a family at the height of their influence in Amsterdam.


From old Amsterdam, a walking or cycling tour of the city’s modern architecture with Architecture Tours takes visitors to the eastern docklands waterfront developments, as well as IJberg, a new residential area built on man-made lakes. Tours are hosted by qualified architects as well as urban planners.


Key buildings on the Amsterdam Tour (tours also run in Rotterdam, Utrecht and The Hague) include the EYE Film Institute by Delugan Meisll and the IJdock by Bjarne Mastenbroek, the Parkrand Building and WoZOCOS by MVRDV and influential buildings from the expressionist Amsterdam School such as De Klerck’s 1919 Het Schip apartments.


With its connections in the architectural profession, Architecture Tours can tailor more in-depth tours if a group has particular interests or areas of research such as housing, urban regeneration, city planning or sustainable architecture.
