The city’s fantastic architecture is best seen from a sightseeing boat in the canals. A couple of art museums and one of the modern galleries are a “must” in this elegant, cultured city which also offers high class football.
The narrow 17th century houses have large windows at eye height, so you can see a lot more than just the beautiful facades – overlooking is part of the street scene.
Some exciting areas to walk round in: The Dam square with the Koninklijk Paleis (Royal Palace) built in 1665, Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) built in the 15th century.
The Old Church (the city’s oldest building) dates from 1302 and is sited on Warmoesstraat. Western Canal Belt (Herengracht, Keizergracht, Prinsengracht) consists of charming small streets containing shops, galleries and cafes.
