A must-see place for Dutch tourism (1)

"Venice in the North"

The whole city of Amsterdam looks like a semicircle, and its terrain is 1-5 meters above sea level. It is called "underwater city" and also called "Venice in the North". Many canals were dug in the "golden age". The three most important canals, from the central station to the outside, are Gracht in Heron, Gracht in Kaiser and Gracht in Plinson, which surround the city center of Amsterdam. Then, with the rapid growth of urban population, cities began to expand from areas outside the Zenger Canal.

Canals of amsterdam Belt connects more than 100 islands. It is a 75-kilometer-long canal system, which consists of more than 160 canals and 128 1 bridge. Its main attractions are concentrated in the canal belt with a radius of about 1.5 km. Amsterdam people live by water, and water enters the city. People and water depend on each other and the scenery is natural.

Herengracht

The Gentleman Canal is the first of the three main canals in downtown Amsterdam. The most fashionable part is called Golden Bend. There are many double mansions, inner gardens and garages. The facades and windows of houses on both sides of the canal are slender, because the property tax was levied according to the facade area at that time, and the shrewd Dutch tried to reduce the facade area as much as possible in order to save taxes. Because the facade is small, the idea of decoration is placed on the gable of the roof. If you look closely, you will find that each gable is different. Because the door is narrow and large furniture items need to enter through the window, there are prominent hooks in the room.

Emperor's Canal

The Emperor Canal is the second and widest of the three main canals in downtown Amsterdam. It is located between the gentlemen's canal and the prince's canal, and is named after the holy Roman emperor Maximilian I.

Prince canal

Prince Canal is the third and longest canal in Amsterdam. Most of the buildings along the canal were built in the "golden age" of Holland. The scenic spots along the canal include North Church, North Market, Anne's House, the tallest church in West Church and Amsterdam, and the gay monument.

Cruise cruise

The best way to appreciate the charm of Amsterdam's water town is the canal sightseeing cruise. Through the glass ship roof and glass windows, you can enjoy the gable buildings on both sides of the river17th century. They are colorful, with different shapes, colorful and full of historical sense.

There are many companies that operate cruise ships. In front of Amsterdam Central Railway Station, the cruise ships on each line run every 15-30 minutes, the journey is basically 1 hour, and the cheapest fare is probably 15 euros. Walking in the street on a boat can often find scenery that you haven't noticed. In addition, there are many other canal cruise ships near major museums and other scenic spots.
