The best water stories come from Amsterdammers.
Sidewalk Stories only works because residents keep sending things in. Three ways to take part, all of them small.
Send a water tip
A person we should meet, a spot worth documenting, a change on the canals we should look into. Two lines is enough. We follow up on every tip.
Share your sidewalk story
A conversation you overheard by the water. A memory tied to a canal. A question you have never had a clear answer to. Send it in and we consider it for the next collection.
Walk an audio tour
Put on headphones and follow a self-guided Sidewalk Route through the city. Each stop is a conversation about the water right in front of you.
You know a water person we should meet.
The woman who owns a boat wharf. The man who fishes with magnets. Send them our way and we'll go find them.
8:34pm, golden hour, no other boats. Life is good.
“Ask a houseboat resident what it's actually like to live on the water.” , Luca
Fun fact: every few days the sluices open at night and 600 million liters is pumped through the city so the water doesn't turn into a swamp.
