Have you always wanted to follow in Rembrandt’s footsteps? We have developed two city walks that take you along the places in Amsterdam that were most important to Rembrandt.
Together with Mastercard, we have developed a virtual walk in which you can explore the city with Rembrandt. Discover where Rembrandt bought the curiosities for his art room, where his patrons lived, where the painters’ guild of Amsterdam was located and where Rembrandt was buried. You don’t need anything for this free virtual walk, except a smartphone (and maybe a pair of comfortable shoes…). You can view the hotspots from home, or follow the route on foot through Amsterdam. Visit wandelenmetrembrandt.nl and explore the city with Rembrandt!
Discover the story of Rembrandt and Amsterdam beyond the museum walls! During our exclusive city walk you will learn everything about the Amsterdammers in Rembrandt’s work. The guide will tell you who they were, where they came from, where Rembrandt drew them or where their portraits hung. Get acquainted with different Amsterdammers: rich and poor, Dutch, Flemish, Jewish or African. You’ll find out that Dutch society in the 17th century was even more diverse than we might have thought. The city walk takes one hour and is available for both individuals and groups. Below you can read more about booking a city walk.
