Amsterdam Pride & Culture Bike Tour

This 2-hour guided ride explores Amsterdam's LGBTQIA+ history in a city that has long been a pioneer of gay rights. Small groups follow a local Pride guide through historic canals and iconic neighbourhoods, stopping at significant landmarks to hear stories of activism, resilience and celebration.

Stops include the Homomonument, the world's first memorial dedicated to LGBTQIA+ people, the Reguliersdwarsstraat nightlife district, Café 't Mandje, one of the city's oldest queer bars, and the quirky Condomerie. The route also takes in Vondelpark, the Jordaan and the UNESCO-listed Canal Belt, along with the origins of Amsterdam Pride and its famous Canal Parade.

Running year-round rather than just during Pride week, the tour suits anyone interested in the people, places and moments that helped make Amsterdam one of the world's most inclusive cities.
