Canals of Amsterdam

We will visit today the city of Amsterdam. Like Venice, it is best known for its many canals, bordered by residential buildings.


But the Dutchman live not only by the canals but also literally on the canals, in the many barges.


As if this was not enough, they also live below the canals. Well, maybe they do not live there but they use the ground below the canals as parking space.


But the best way of admiring the canals of Amsterdam is to take a boat trip.


From the canal, we can admire the houses and the barges ...


... the churches ...


... and the National Opera and Ballet.


As we sail, we naturally pass many bridges. Some solid.


and some that open to let bigger ships pass.


Because the canals of Amsterdam are amazing both during day ...


... and night.
