About Ámsterdam

Ámsterdam rodea su centro de la edad de oro con canales arbolados, casas con frontones y puentes, con gran arte y fácil de recorrer en bici.

El cinturón de canales, excavado en el siglo XVII, se curva alrededor del casco antiguo en arcos concéntricos: Herengracht, Keizersgracht y Prinsengracht, bordeados de altas casas de mercaderes. El Jordaan, justo al oeste, es un laberinto de pequeños canales, patios, cafés marrones y tiendas independientes, y la Casa de Ana Frank se levanta en el Prinsengracht, en su borde.

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