We present the first video from the Netherlands. Furthermore we present the first videos from Paris and Copenhagen.
Amsterdamis the capital and as well the largest city of the Netherlands. As you will see in the video, it certainly is the centre of bicycle culture. Join the  video-walk crossing the “city of canals”, which has the reputation of being a relaxed area. The second video from Amsterdam has been shot in the red-light district. The small alleys contain several hundred tiny one-room apartments of prostitutes who offer their services from behind a window under red light.

Paris is the capital of France. Walk the famous streets of Montmartre, pass markets, the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur and the cathedral Nôtre Dame in the end.

One of the videos from Copenhagen recorded a ride in the Metro of Copenhagen, Denmark. The trains are driverless and fully automatic. The front of these futuristic looking trains are made of glass, a perfect place for our camera to catch the spacy view into the bowels of Copenhagen.

See all those new videos here: http://www.walkonearth.com/europa.html

We thank Frank Schultz, Juliane Gregori and Janine Lenk for sending us the footage. You and me, we Walk On Earth.
