3. Uncle Jan

Recommended by 15 road cyclists out of 18

Vincent van Gogh lived with his Uncle Jan at the city’s naval dockyard. Hundreds of labourers worked there building boats. To Vincent, the sound of their footsteps was ‘something like the sound of the sea.’ A plaque on the building, on the left corner next to the National Maritime Museum, recalls Vincent’s stay here. Feel free to walk through the gate and take a look.
