[Video] See Vintage Footage Of The Streets Of Amsterdam In 1922

Amsterdam is an old and beautiful city, with so much history. Walking through the streets today, you can imagine what the city must have been like back in the day. But now, you no longer need to imagine. 

Take a look at this video filled with colourised images of the streets and people of Amsterdam from way back in 1922. See if you can spot anywhere you recognise.

Watch as people dance to the music from a traditional street organ, and as they ride their bikes down the Harlemmerdijk (some things - like the Dutch on bikes - will never change!).
