About this experience

Let's go for a walk underground. After all, Amsterdam's underground is full of art. Fourteen million people pass by this multitude of artworks each year, merely to perceive them as nothing more than a part of the decor. Meanwhile, some of them tell stories that any novelist would envy - about Amsterdam and its people, social problems and political conflicts, and love and freedom. The Amsterdam Underground can invoke debates or storytelling, making jokes, riddles and even pranks, turning any trip into a thrilling adventure.
