On this walking tour, you’ll stroll through the elegant canals and hidden courtyards of the city’s Golden Age, visiting places where women quietly shaped history. From the opulent Van Loon family home to the convent-like Begijnhof, we’ll explore how women navigated — and at times defied — the structures of their time.
