About the Tour
As the Dutch saying goes: “God created the Earth, but the Dutch created the Netherlands.” To truly understand this, I’ll take you to explore the ultra-modern Ijburg district. Located just a few kilometers from the city center, it’s easily accessible by tram or bike. Here, you’ll see an island built from scratch just a few years ago, spectacular water-based buildings, charming floating houses, dikes, and all the infrastructure needed to live in harmony with water — the country’s defining element.
