Together with your private guide, explore areas such as the Jordaan, Amsterdam West, and the historic centre in search of urban art both famous and easily overlooked. Look out for works by Amsterdam’s mysterious Unknown Sculptor (De Onbekende Beeldhouwer), the playful interventions of Streetart Frankey, and lesser-known pieces hidden in plain sight.
Along the way, discover the stories behind the art and consider some of the questions it raises. What makes something art? Why has street art become so popular? Does it belong in a museum, and will today’s street art stand the test of time?
Amsterdam’s street art is constantly changing, so no two walks are ever quite the same. Your guide will adapt the route according to what is currently on display, your starting point, and your interests.
Price Includes
There is no single fixed route. Depending on what is currently on display, your starting point and your interests, the walk can explore areas such as the Jordaan, Amsterdam West and the historic centre. Amsterdam’s street art is constantly changing, so the route can change too.
There are works by Streetart Frankey hidden throughout Amsterdam, and where possible, your guide will point out examples along the route. His artworks can appear, disappear or move, so particular pieces cannot be guaranteed.
Amsterdam’s street art goes far beyond murals and graffiti. Depending on the route, you might encounter sculptures, installations, altered street signs, stickers and other creative interventions, including works by Streetart Frankey and the mysterious Unknown Sculptor.
Yes. This is a private walking tour, so your guide can adapt the route to your interests, starting point and the street art currently on display.
Not at all. The tour is as much about discovering what’s hidden around Amsterdam as it is about individual artists or styles. Your guide will introduce the stories behind the works and some of the questions surrounding street art, from what we consider art to what happens when street art moves into a museum.
Yes. Every tour we run is private, so it can be built around limited mobility rather than squeezed into it. Tell us what you need when you book and we will plan the route, the pace and the stops around it: the car closer to each stop, shorter walking stretches, seated breaks, and step-free alternatives where they exist. Wheelchairs, walkers and prams are all fine. Where a particular site is genuinely not accessible we will say so before you book rather than let you find out on the day.
