A maze of modern architecture rises where marshlands once sprawled and skaters glide across the echoes of fierce winter rebellions — Amsterdam-Oost hides stories few ever hear.

This self-guided audio tour unlocks The New East’s layered secrets. Move beyond the postcards to uncover the university that sparked academic revolutions and an ice rink where scandal once froze the city in its tracks. Let each street reveal a plot twist that tourists rush past.

What riot rattled the classrooms of Amsterdam University College late one stormy night? Who vanished behind the glass windows of the Jaap Edenbaan, never to return? Why do certain murals keep changing, despite strict city laws?

Trace shifting skylines, radical meetings, and underground legends. Feel drama pulsing through each avenue as you journey from experimental campuses to legendary arenas. See Amsterdam in sharper, stranger color.

Peel back the layers of the East. The city’s real stories wait beneath your feet — press play to reveal them.
