"Dutch houses" Amsterdam Things to Do Tip by akikonomu

Amsterdam Things to Do: 3,380 reviews and 5,299 photos

 
 

Numerous houses of varied facades compacted in the small city centre of Amsterdam must have been the trademark of the Dutch capital. Cheery pink beside solemn formal black facades, followed by businesslike looking blue and average brick red fronts create a mishmash of houses. Imagine the inhabitants of the times gone by behind these starkly contrasting facades... No wonder the Dutch are one of the most tolerant peoplein Europe.

Visitors with keen interest in architecture could stray for hours "browsing" this real life catalogue of facades.

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
