The people who live along the city's widest channel, Emperor's Canal (Keizersgracht), can enter their homes directly from their boats when the weather's good. Take a walk through the quaint streets and stop by a charming cafe, or tour the site to find numerous important buildings. Look for an 1854 Syrian Orthodox church, ornamented with Neo-Gothic elements. See 17th-century warehouses with stepped gables that were once used for storing whaling products, and today host luxury apartments. You can also take a boat tour to learn the history and highlights of the area.

  • From Hotel XO to Dam Square.. Took a Public transportation... Got down two stops before the dam square.. Walking on canal bridge under open blue sky.. Loved the city full of fun and air had one different kind of joy... the place is full of life.. One of the best place in Our Family Summer holiday 2019 Europe Road trip with Travllr group.. Visited 13 countries in 17 days road trip.. But the Amsterdam city was best part of our holiday.. we would love to go back and spend more time in Amsterdam City... Pictures taken on my apple iPhone.
