Walk through the Plantage, the Amsterdam neighbourhood known for its stories of resistance during the Nazi occupation, in this self-guided exploration game. From the Dock Worker statue and the Holocaust Names Memorial to the Dutch Theatre that became a deportation centre, find out what life was like until the day Canadian forces liberated the city.

Along the way you solve challenges in the Questo app, learn historical facts and local myths, and discover hidden spots that only locals know and most tourists pass by. The walk covers about 2 km and takes around 3 hours, with no time limit.
