Weeping TowerVisit the Schreierstoren, or Tower of Tears, a medieval structure from which women bid farewell to loved ones departing by ship.

NieuwmarktFrom here, we will make our way to the lively nightspot and market square, Nieuwmarkt which is found in the old city centre. This spot has been a centre for commerce and socialising in Amsterdam since the 17th century as the square’s location just inside the old city gate made it a convenient spot for traders and shoppers looking for fresh produce.
-
The WaagDuring our time at Nieuwmarkt, we will also see what is known as “De Waag”, a 15th century building that is one of Amsterdam’s oldest remaining non-religious buildings. Originally a city gate and part of the walls of Amsterdam, the building has also served as a guildhall, museum and firestation, among other things.

Museum Het RembrandthuisVisit the former home and studio of Rembrandt, where the great master lived and worked for nearly 20 years.
