You should be standing in front of CT Coffee and Coconuts, on a road called the Ceintuurbaan.

I'm Susam and I'll be taking you on a fun walk through the Pijp area, an area in the south of Amsterdam. This area is very popular and the houses are highly sought after, even if they are relatively small and pricy. You can find a lot of nice shops, cute coffee places and good bars and restaurants in the Pijp so it's great for a walking tour. I would love to take you on a nice walk to show you some of my favorite spots. Let's first start with where you are right now.

Are you ready to begin your tour with a cup of coffee in a national monument? CT Coffee & Coconuts is housed in a former cinema called Ceintuur Theater.

Look up, can you spot the name in the concrete facade?

This fascinating building was built in the style of the expressionism with art deco elements. It dates back to 1921-1922 and was built according to a design by architect W. Noorlander. The theatre closed down in 1976 and was left abandoned for years until it reopened in 2012 as a kitchen store and later a brasserie. These days you can kick back in a relaxed ambience and have a cup of coffee, breakfast, lunch, drinks or dinner. Most of their food is organic and locally sourced.

If you like, you can pause the tour to go ahead and enter this former movie theater and find a cosy spot somewhere. The building has three stories so take your pick. You can grab something to eat and or drink and we'll continue the walk as soon as you leave CT Coffee & Coconuts.

If you prefer to get going, turn so CT Coffee & Coconuts is on your right and the road on your left, and start walking.

While you walk, I'll briefly explain how VoiceMap works.

It uses your location to play audio automatically, at the right time and place. This means that you can put your phone away now. Don't worry if I'm silent for a while, when I'm not giving directions or telling stories. There's a map on your screen if you ever feel lost, and if you do get way off track without noticing, VoiceMap will let you know.

This road, the Ceintuurbaan, was built in the 1800s to connect Nieuwer Amstel, now known as Amstelveen, with Amsterdam. At that time the area consisted of polders and meadows. A polder is a low lying piece of land enclosed by dikes. These days the Ceintuurbaan divides the popular area the Pijp into the Old Pijp and the New Pijp.

Keep going. You'll hear from me a little further ahead. Read More

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen

The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.

Resume playback to go at your own pace

If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.

Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast

Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.

Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync

Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.

Do tours without paying for data

Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.
