About Amsterdam

Amsterdam omkranser sentrum fra gullalderen med trerekkede kanaler, gavlhus og broer og pakker fin kunst og enkel sykling inn i en kompakt by.

Kanalringen, gravd på 1600-tallet, bøyer seg rundt den gamle bykjernen i konsentriske buer: Herengracht, Keizersgracht og Prinsengracht, kantet av høye kjøpmannshus. Jordaan, like mot vest, er en labyrint av små kanaler, bakgårder, brune kaféer og uavhengige butikker, og Anne Frank-huset ligger ved Prinsengracht i utkanten.

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