阿姆斯特丹水道纵横,似乎有“北方威尼斯”的称号,虽然和真正的威尼斯还是不能比,但水的确给城市增加了灵性的感觉。对阿姆斯特丹总体印象一般,但对运河的感觉还是不错。朋友去XX区的时候,我就沿着运河走了走~~
If you like museums and places of interest the best thing to do is to buy an Amsterdam pass which you can get for 1, 2 or 3 days. We bought the two day pass which is activated at your first venue and then lasts 48 hours. You get free admission to a load of attractions and free transport within Amsterdam plus a canal trip of an hour. The canal trip is by far the best way to see the canals and you use all of the major canals in the free trip. Herrengracht is by far the most interesting but that is personal.
Just loved the strolling, the high buildings, the people, the bars. From the central area, just head out on one of the "spokes" that intersect the five canals, meander at will, have a drink and a snack; head for Leidseplein and have fun.
enjoy the section east of the Leidsestraat to see the 17th century's mansions. and bring a visit to the van Loon museum at number 672
We took a canal trip in Amsterdam but it wasnt as exciting as we expected it to be. The canals were very beautiful but after a point, it seemed all the same and we started to chat rather than excitedly look outside the boat
Viewed from a cruise along with all the others! Lots of architecture and if you're on a boat hopefully you get the commentary about this. If not - The Emperor’s Canal is the middle one of the three main canals in Amsterdam. It was named after Emperor Maximilian of Austria. It is 31 meters wide, the widest canal in the inner city. Together with the Herengracht and the Prinsengracht, digging this canal was started in 1612. On the photo below you can see the oldest part of the canal, where it joins the Brouwersgracht (Brewer’s Canal) Initially a wide boulevard without water was planned here, but the future inhabitants wanted water in front of their doors, so they could reach their house by boat.
Spent a day cruising the canals. How awesome was this is. Went along emperor canal and learned all about the history and why they had the names they had.
Another of the main canals with nice streets. Good place for walking and biking to check out the shops and restaurants. Much more peaceful here than the center of town. You will find a lot more local places here rather than all the tourist places in the center.
I have stayed on Keizersgracht on previous visits and have walked the three canals to Jordaan or to Spui or to Amstel and this is the most diverse and interesting canal, and the most beautiful. One can stop anywhere on Keizersgracht and get a quintessential view of what Amsterdam is all about.
A little over an hour this boat cruise is spacious and goes all the way around most canals with personal commentary! Highly recommend! I think the tickets were only € 10 in conjunction with the City Sightseeing 24hrs ticket. However it is not a hop off hop on tour.
