The Nieuwmarkt neighbourhood breathes history. We took a spontaneous bike ride through the neighbourhood with Amsterdam expert Bob Maas, past places with a story. Why is Bloedstraat actually called that? Where can you find traces of the old monastery life? And what makes this neighbourhood so unique?

From centuries-old facades to hidden alleys: behind every corner hides a piece of the Amsterdam of the past. Bob takes you along familiar and less familiar places, with surprising facts that change your view of the city. History that is not only visible, but sometimes hidden - under your feet or hidden behind walls.

Watch along with Bob and discover forgotten stories, hidden details and the raw edges of a neighbourhood that never bores.
