About Amsterdam

Amsterdam omger sitt centrum från guldåldern med trädkantade kanaler, gavelhus och broar och packar fin konst och lätt cykling i en kompakt stad.

Kanalringen, grävd på 1600-talet, böjer sig runt det gamla centrumet i koncentriska bågar: Herengracht, Keizersgracht och Prinsengracht, kantade av höga köpmannahus. Jordaan, strax väster om, är ett virrvarr av små kanaler, innergårdar, bruna caféer och oberoende butiker, och Anne Franks hus ligger vid Prinsengracht i dess utkant.

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