About Amsterdam

Amsterdams Zentrum aus dem Goldenen Zeitalter liegt zwischen Grachten, Giebelhäusern und Brücken: große Kunst, leicht mit dem Rad zu erkunden.

Der im 17. Jahrhundert angelegte Grachtengürtel zieht sich in konzentrischen Bögen um die Altstadt: Herengracht, Keizersgracht und Prinsengracht, gesäumt von hohen Kaufmannshäusern. Der Jordaan, gleich westlich davon, ist ein Gewirr aus kleinen Grachten, Hinterhöfen, braunen Cafés und unabhängigen Läden, und am Rand des Viertels steht das Anne-Frank-Haus an der Prinsengracht.

Top-ranked sights in Amsterdam: Amstel River, Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug), Anne Frank House.
