The Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood breathes history. Together with Amsterdam expert Bob Maas, we spontaneously got on our bikes for a discovery tour of the neighbourhood. This time: the iconic Waag - once the city gate, now the landmark of the Nieuwmarkt.

What makes this place so special? Bob reveals surprising details on the spot that you may never have noticed. Think hidden waterways and medieval building tricks that are still visible - if you know where to look.

In our previous video, we took you through other unique places in the neighbourhood. Why is Bloedstraat called this way? Where can you find traces of ancient monastic life? Not seen it yet? Click here To look back!

Watch along with Bob and discover how the history of the Nieuwmarkt passes under your feet - literally and figuratively.
