About this trip

Some of the oldest features of Amsterdam. Of the canal district, Nieuwe Spiegelstraat has the best collection of antiques to bring home. Further back in time is Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, now a botanical garden, once a medicinal one. Tiny Hidden Houses on Westerstraat give a tiny look into the past.
