Is the City Archives your starting point? Then start at number 1 and walk on to number 8. Are you starting at Rembrandt House Museum? Then walk from number 8 back to number 1.

Finish your walk at number 9, now hotel The Dylan, formerly Amsterdam's first city theater, and drink a special Rembrandt cocktail.

(Also nice, have Rembrandt-style lunch and/or dinner at de Bazel).
