Walk of freedom
Take time for freedom
Students from Inholland University of Applied Sciences together with the archivists at the Provincial Historical Archive developed a historic walk to commemorate 75 years of freedom. A stroll along 25 monuments, buildings and statues to reflect on WWII, peace and freedom.
The walk of freedom is available as of today. Buy a brochure at the Tourist Information Centre for 2 euros or download the izi.Travel app on your phone for more information, videos and questions to test your knowledge.
For an impression of the route and the videos see below.
(for the Dutch version of the walk of freedom go to Vrijheidswandeling).
Watch the videos and answer the ten corresponding questions on the reply form. If you answered all the questions correctly, you can win tickets to a concert by one of the Liberation Pop Festival 2020 artists (including Maan, Kris Kross Amsterdam, Danny Vera).
Enjoy your online walk.
