What can you expect from the Bike Tour Noord?

Discover the hip and creative side of Amsterdam in the northern parts of the city (Amsterdam Noord) with an experienced English-speaking guide during a 2,5-hour long bike tour in English in a small group.

Amsterdam Noord has grown from being a remote part of town to being the absolute magnet for creative folk, young families and residents from all over the world. In between the trending neighborhood Noord and downtown Amsterdam, you’ll find the river “IJ”. The northern part of Amsterdam is a unique blend of country-style paradise and the impressive remainders of the industrial port. The former NDSM wharf has drawn in numerous artists, modern bars and hip start-ups, who settled down in this part of town.

The history of Amsterdam Noord dates back to the 14th century

The quarter’s history is colorful and rich: in the past, the territory was marked by peat extractions, functioned as a location for the gallows, and harbored customs stations for the shipping industry. From the 19th century on, the heavy and petrochemical industries grew more and more important in the North. Over time, Amsterdam Noord grew to be the most important industrial area of the entire city.
