Amsterdam

Duration: 50 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News EuropeLatest broadcast: on BBC News North America

Art historians Dr Janina Ramirez and Alastair Sooke take us on three cultural citybreaks, hunting for off-the-beaten-track artistic treats - and finding new ways of enjoying some famous sights. In this episode, they head to Amsterdam to take us on a tour of the city's cultural hotspots, explore the canals that helped build Amsterdam and reveal the city's reputation for tolerance in the oldest surviving Jewish library in the world. They discover how Amsterdam's art and culture reflects the liberal attitudes, appetite for global trade and love of home comforts that helped shape the character of this trailblazing city. Show less
