There is one epic moment in dutch history: the XVII century, also known as the Golden Age. A moment when everything flourished: from art to science, from overseas trade to city developments. It's when Amsterdam built the Canal Belt, three big canals lined by magnificent houses, today on the world heritage Unesco's list. And it's exactly here, along this grachten (a canal in Dutch) that I want to make with you a plunge into the past to discover how people of that time, lived and thought. My purpose is to give you a sense of life during the Golden Age. We will stroll along the canals and we admire the opulent townhouses and their variety of architectural styles, the decorative gabels and cornices and window shapes. In particular, We will enter and visit two of the most famous canal houses of the 1700s: the Bartolotti house and the Museum van Loon.
We will start our tour by the Dam, the main Amsterdam square. We will walk to the Canal belt and we will stop and visit the 'House Bartolotti, a flamboyant stap gable house built in the typical Dutch Reinassance style of the most famous architect of the time Handrick de Keyser. Afterward we will pass also some magnificent buildings as the Pulizer Hotel, the Cromhout hun, the Canal House museum over the way this part of the city was built (also possible to add to the tour on your request) the Museum van Loon, a delightful canal house museum owned by one of the most important families of the XVII century. We will get inside the amazing rooms adorned with fine pieces of furniture, porcelain and sculptures and its magnificent garden with the old stables. On request is possible to customize this tour and make it longer adding the visit to other canal houses.
