Pinsteps. Hollandsche Manege, Amsterdam
Languages: en, ru

The white arch beckons us to look inside, where, through the inner corridor, we see the beauty of architecture and grace of movement - the Dutch Manege. This is the oldest riding school in the Netherlands. The building we are in was built in 1882, following the example of the famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna. In this arena, eminent residents of Amsterdam and members of the royal family practiced horseback riding. Remember at the entrance to the park we mentioned that before the bicycles became a part of it, the founders of the park, including the mayor of the city, liked horseback riding?

Amsterdam the Museum Quarter

A personal guide to the museum quarter has been carefully planned and prepared for you by the Conservatorium Hotel. Our hotel is directly related to this exquisite cultural quarter of the city because the conservatory once occupied the building in which the hotel is located. The museum quarter adorns Amsterdam like the Kohinoor diamond adorns the crown of the British Empire. Between them, by the way, there is a direct relationship, which you will learn about from a trip. The walk will introduce you to the history and unexpected twists and turns of the fate of the inhabitants of the quarter, its buildings and houses, and of course, will lead you and learn about the most famous and visited museum square in the world. The walk is planned for the whole day and combines relaxing in the park and visiting museums. However, you can divide the trip into two parts. Architecture, history, shops, and the park from stop 1 to stop 9. Museums from stop 10 to the end of the trip. For your convenience, download the route to your phone, and thus you will not be dependent on a network connection. Have a nice walk.
