Highlights
Let's go for a walk underground. After all, Amsterdam's underground is full of art. Fourteen million people pass by this multitude of artworks each year, merely to perceive them as nothing more than a part of the decor. Meanwhile, some of them tell stories that any novelist would envy - about Amsterdam and its people, social problems and political conflicts, and love and freedom. The Amsterdam Underground can invoke debates or storytelling, making jokes, riddles and even pranks, turning any trip into a thrilling adventure. Our tour of Amsterdam's underground art takes us on two of the most exciting routes: the most modern and the oldest. Today we invite you on an underground journey through the most exciting stations and artworks. See you underground!

About Amsterdam
Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.
The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.
Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
