About Amsterdam

Amsterdam entoure son centre du Siècle d'or de canaux bordés d'arbres, de maisons à pignons et de ponts, avec grand art et vélo facile.

La ceinture de canaux, creusée au XVIIe siècle, courbe autour du centre ancien en arcs concentriques : Herengracht, Keizersgracht et Prinsengracht, bordés de hautes maisons de marchands. Le Jordaan, juste à l'ouest, est un dédale de petits canaux, de cours, de cafés bruns et de boutiques indépendantes, et la maison d'Anne Frank se dresse sur le Prinsengracht, à sa lisière.

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