LTD ED 5

Kerry brings the colourful the Netherlands’ capital into focus, known for its artistic heritage, elaborate canal system and narrow houses with gabled facades. These narrow facades seem to topple, one over another, in an avalanche of colour. Indeed, the colours of the buildings are not random but follow a specific tradition. Originally, the buildings were painted with natural pigments such as ochre, red, green, and blue. Each colour had a specific meaning, such as red indicating a warehouse, green for a doctor's house, and blue for a merchant's home.

Known for its labyrinthine system of canals, equally important are the bridges that cross them. The city has roughly 2500 bridges and Kerry invites your eyes up to an ancient stone bridge beyond a colourful cluster of bikes, penichettes and barges to allow you to explore Old Town, the oldest neighborhood of Amsterdam, to the east of Dam Square, that dates to the medieval 13th century.
