We went to one of the most famous streets in the city. It connects Dam Square and the former Coin Square. But this area became a street not so long ago. In 1608, the main channel of the Amstel River passed here, which is displayed in the name of the road. In the old Dutch, Rak in denotes the mainstream. In the photo is a picture of Hendrick Breitner, when Rokin was still a channel.

During this walk you will have time: to go for a cheese and wine tasting, to see the main Dam square and the royal palace, to go along the shopping Kalverstraat street and go to the Amsterdam Museum, to see the oldest house, to get acquainted with the street brownie, to find out that Rusland has no connection with Russia, drink tea in the smallest house, see what Monet painted, walk along the Rembrandt beach and buy a Dutch herring at a kiosk.
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
