How much do the Amsterdam walks cost?
Listening to the first stop of every walk and reading the complete written text of all stories is completely free. Amsterdam features community-unlocked walks where all stories are already free to listen to, as well as routes with additional unvoiced stops that can be unlocked permanently for all future visitors.
What languages are the Amsterdam walks in?
The Amsterdam collection currently includes walks in English and Russian. Each walk was written independently by locals rather than machine-translated, covering distinct aspects of the city from the western Jordaan courtyards to Russian historical connections across the old harbour.
Do I need a mobile connection while walking?
Yes. Audio streams on demand at each location, so mobile data is needed as you walk. Central Amsterdam has seamless 4G and 5G mobile coverage along all principal canals, quays, and bridges.
Can I do the walks on a bicycle?
These routes are designed specifically as pedestrian walking tours through narrow canal quays, bridges, and pedestrianised alleys. While you can cycle between distant areas, we recommend walking when listening to stops in busy central areas and pedestrian hofjes.
