Canals of Amsterdam — Local services in Amsterdam

Can’t explain the beauty of these…

When you think about Amsterdam, you think Tulip gardens- Windmill or Canals and building around it. Yeah and after coming here, it did not disappoint me. There are 2 Amsterdam, one is at Dam’s square and the other is on the bank of these canals. Totally different from each other.

There are 165 Amsterdam canals combine for a length of over 100 kilometers (about 60 miles). The Canal Ring became part of the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2010. Amsterdam got its name from the Amstel River. And hard to believe but it has 3 times more bridges (1281 bridge) than Venice (409 bridge) also there are 2500 houseboats in Amsterdam.

Bridges on the canals, they have similar characteristics. Bicycle on the railing, flower pots, and canals. That’s picture-perfect scene and that’s Amsterdam identity. There are a few spots that are totally mesmerized. Near Anne frank house ( Jordaan Area) or central station. Some spots are just amazing. You just wanna sit at the edge or take some cruise tour or sip coffee in one of the 100s cafes near to canals. Jordaan's restaurants and cafes have become a trendy place to sit and people-watch while enjoying traditional Dutch folk music.

In the night, you just wanna sit and admire the beauty of the city and its canals.

pro Tip - check out the building near the central station. these are the place for...

I Love Amsterdam! The canals are incredible especially when taking a guided ride in a boat. The architecture and scenery is breathtaking.

Many cafes and restaurants with delicious pastries and flower and vegetable stands to see after that canal ride. Don’t forget to take a tour of the Red Light District which is a well known tourist attraction. Tours can be scheduled if going to just see it at night alone as a woman expect to be approached by tourists visiting the area. A simple no does the trick or call your “husband”or wave to him who can be no one and they will go about their business. I would recommend a tour or going with someone if site seeing at night. My favorite part are all the Canals! The 4 stars is due to the bicycles everywhere driving faster than the delivery guys on bikes in NY. Don’t...

Very beautiful and interesting canal. Boating is something that I can say the best thing you can do in Amsterdam canals. You can see whole city and enjoy with your partner. 1 pass gives you 2 boat rides that you can use in between 10 am to 17 pm. if you planning to go there then try to plan in April or May so that you can see beautiful tulip flower garden for which Amsterdam is famous for but if you go there in the other months it does not mean that you can not enjoy. Amsterdam is really amazing and lovely even in cold months. We went there in December so we missed the garden beauties but the other things...
