Those who would like to take a more in-depth view into the history of Amsterdam are welcome to visit the ‘city archives’. The archives are located in a large building with a history of its own, which you can learn more about during one of their guided tours. You can choose to take a general tour or a more specific, themed, tour. Also in the building you will find study rooms, workstations equipped with computers, and finally a book shop – with any and every book published on the topic of Amsterdam.
