The Canals of Amsterdam, Netherlands

on December 13, 2019

The incredible canals of Amsterdam could be considered highly underrated even in all their popularity. The canals were added to the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2010 and surpass the amount of canals in Venice, Italy. Perhaps this is why Amsterdam is sometimes referred to as the “Venice of the North.” Amsterdam contains about 90 islands that are connected by 1500+ bridges. Numerous historical buildings line the banks of these incredible canals.

Did you know: In the olden days, living on a houseboat in the canals was a symbol of poverty but now they are extremely popular and some are even located near the city center!

The Amstel River flows through the canals of Amsterdam and creates beautiful views like the one seen here. There are three main canals in Amsterdam including the Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht, which have truly shaped the city! The city is linked by over ninety islands and over 1,4000 bridges to create a truly unique city built atop the water.
