A quiet street in Amsterdam-Zuid hides the memory of a vanished art manifesto and the sound of a secret uprising within university walls.

This self-guided audio tour takes you beyond the postcard canals to the hidden corridors of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the avant-garde studios of Gerrit Rietveld Academie, the pulse of VUmc, and other unexpected corners. Discover stories that most wanderers overlook and find meaning where others see only glass and concrete.

Why did riot police once storm the peaceful campus? What strange artifact sits behind a locked door beneath the hospital? Who left the cryptic mural that still puzzles students today?

Move through lush plazas and shadowed passageways as the line between everyday life and extraordinary events blurs. Here, each turn unlocks quiet rebellions, lost visions, and uncanny secrets waiting to be discovered.

Begin this walk and see Amsterdam-Zuid’s true stories leap from silence into daylight.
