Now I want to show you around the city. Amsterdam is a very special city - it has always been very open and tolerant, but at the same time protective of its residents. I want to show you why the people of Amsterdam are bold and confident, what kind of life they lead today, and why. We will talk about the famous tolerance and openness that Amsterdam is famous for. I would love to tell you about all those events in the past that shaped the city as it is today. Why do so many people come here to play, and what are the consequences? I will also tell you about the current problems we're struggling with. Keep in mind, the walk contains topics, such as slavery, sex work and lgbtq+ rights.
