A travel guide to the best places to visit

Oude Kerk

The “Old Church” is the oldest building of Amsterdam as it was build around the year 1200. Over the years it has turned from a small wooden chapel into the large church we see today. The protestant church is known as ‘Amsterdam’s living room’ as it used to be a meeting place for all walks of life in Amsterdam. One notable feature of this church is it’s location. The church is curiously located in the heart of the ever so lively Amsterdam red light district and can be used as a reference point to find it.
