A walk by Sven · Amsterdam, NL
Start at the Westerkerk, the iconic church that sheltered Anne Frank's hiding place, then arc eastward through Amsterdam's layered history: cross into the medieval Old Town via the Begijnhof's secret chapel, and finish at the Oude Kerk, the city's oldest monument standing in its original quarter. This 2.8 km walk weaves through four centuries of Dutch religious and civic life without backtracking.

Westerkerk
Westerkerk is steps away and directly tied to Anne Frank's story—its tower is mentioned in her diary and the church's spire framed her window on the canal below.

Begijnhofkapel
The Begijnhofkapel sits hidden within Amsterdam's most atmospheric medieval courtyard, a serene contrast to the canal bustle and a window into 14th-century women's religious life.

Oude Kerk Amsterdam
