Itinerary

1. This miniature building exemplifies the historic tradition of taxing homeowners based on the width of their property’s canal-facing façade. Locals say that’s why so many of Amsterdam’s canal houses are narrow yet tall. Today, the ground floor hosts a cozy tea shop, adding to its storybook charm.

About Amsterdam

Amsterdam rings its golden-age centre with tree-lined canals, gabled houses and bridges, packing great art and easy cycling into a compact city.

The canal ring, dug in the seventeenth century, curves around the old centre in concentric arcs: Herengracht, Keizersgracht and Prinsengracht, lined with tall merchants' houses. The Jordaan, just west, is a maze of small canals, courtyards, brown cafés and independent shops, and the Anne Frank House stands on the Prinsengracht at its edge.
