Be part of history. We, as a company, are committed to help Amsterdam City Archives digitize the content. For each scan of history, Amsterdam City Archives charges 50 cents and in the last 15 months only around 35,844 orders have been received. Together, we can digitize all 50 kilometers of Amsterdam’s archives and that makes each one of your purchases meaningful as you help us build the history.
“Some tourists think Amsterdam is a city of sin, but in truth it is a city of freedom. And in freedom, most people find sin.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
Whether you are looking for an off-the-beaten path museum, a unique monument that’s not in any of the guide books or a qurious place for sin - you can use Q! Amsterdam to discover all of it or any of it, socially.
Traditional discovery tools and guides all end up pointing you to Rijks & Anne Frank Museums, which are a must to see when you are in this beautiful city but there is much much more.
You can use our app to stop, pinpoint your location and get interesting and little-known information on a historical place near you or ask a local expert near you - dont follow the crowds, be unique and stay Qurious!
