And even its heraldic emblem and the phrase ‘Determined, Heroic and Compassionate’ refers to the DNA of Amsterdam. Here, people from 180 different nationalities are living together, which is more than any other metropolitan area in the world.
In a society dedicated to tolerance, cultural diversity stimulated the exchange of ideas, and turned out to be the driving force behind Holland’s prosperity. During this tour you will hear the stories of a number of remarkable citizens of Amsterdam who left their mark on Dutch history, and we visit the locations related to their fight for freedom and tolerance.
