TRAVELING TO AMSTERDAM

Amsterdam, the largest planned city in northern Europe, has always been a well-known name in world history and has played a central role in the history of the Netherlands. In the 17th century, Amsterdam was the center of the world economy, and today the city is known for its tolerant character.

Amsterdam was founded as a fishing village around the 13th century on the Amstel River. The name Amstelledamme first appears in a charter granted by Floris V, Count of Holland. During the 14th and especially the 15th century, Amsterdam grew rapidly, laying the foundations for its Golden Age. Only a few medieval buildings survive today, such as the Old Church, the New Church and the Houten Huis (Wooden House) in the Begijnhof. In the Middle Ages, houses were mostly built of wood, a vulnerable building material. The famous Houten Huis was no exception. As a result, most of them were destroyed. Still, a surprisingly large number of Amsterdam homes still have wooden frames. In the 17th century, Amsterdam was the world’s leading marketplace. It was during this period that the city’s distinctive cityscape took shape. Some of its most important historic buildings date from this era, e.g. the town hall on Dam Square (now the Royal Palace), the Westerkerk, the Zuiderkerk and many canal houses, including De Dolfijn (The Dolphin), De Gecroonde Raep, the Trippenhuis and the Van Raey houses…

Wandering through Amsterdam, you’ll come across countless museums, galleries dedicated to Rembrandt and Van Gogh, the Anne Frank House, beautiful Protestant churches and the Red Light District; you’ll enjoy the canals, and you’ll take your best photos from the bridges.

When you’re tired of sightseeing, pick up a pair of clogs for yourself. They’re something unique and special that you’ll wear for a long time, keeping the memories of your wonderful trip to Amsterdam alive.

Whatever you think of them, traditional Dutch wooden shoes, or clogs (klompen), are an important part of Dutch heritage and are still worn in rural parts of the country. The Dutch language has many idioms related to wooden shoes. They remain popular with people who work in agriculture, since they’re great for walking on muddy ground and are easy to wipe clean. Dutch clogs are made from various types of wood – poplar and willow are favorites – and are often painted. Clogs have even been certified by the European Union as safety shoes, because they can withstand sharp and heavy objects and concentrated acids. Traditionally, they are handmade by trained craftsmen. As you can imagine, making an identical pair of wooden shoes is a tough job, but professionals can produce up to seven pairs a day! Because worn-out wooden shoes were used as fuel for the fireplace, historians have found it hard to pinpoint their exact origin. Still, they are estimated to have appeared 850 years ago, and the oldest wooden shoe was found on the Nieuwendijk in Amsterdam. Around six million souvenir clogs are made in the Netherlands every year, so you’re sure to find the perfect pair to take home!
