• Anne Frank House - The Anne Frank House (Dutch: Anne Frank Huis) is a historic writer’s house and biographical museum dedicated to Anne Frank, a Jewish wartime diarist. Situated on the Prinsengracht canal near the Westerkerk in central Amsterdam, Netherlands, it holds significant historical value.

During World War II, Anne Frank, her family, and four others hid from Nazi persecution in concealed rooms at the back of this 17th-century canal house, known as the Secret Annex (Dutch: Achterhuis). Although Anne did not survive the war, her diary was published in 1947. A decade later, the Anne Frank Foundation was established to preserve the property from developers who intended to demolish the block.

• Westerkerk - The Westerkerk is a Reformed church within Dutch Protestant Calvinism, located in central Amsterdam, Netherlands. It is situated in the western part of the Grachtengordel neighborhood, adjacent to the Jordaan, between the Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht.
• Houseboat Museum - The Houseboat Museum offers a unique opportunity to experience life on a houseboat along an Amsterdam canal. The museum is housed in the “Hendrika Maria,” a former cargo ship built in 1914, now transformed into a cozy living space with modern conveniences and ample comfort.
• Leidsegracht - Leidsegracht is a canal in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It serves as a cross-canal in Amsterdam-Center, connecting Herengracht, Keizersgracht, Prinsengracht, and Lijnbaansgracht, and flows into the Singelgracht at Marnixstraat.
• Beulingsloot - De Beulingsloot is one of the oldest and shortest canals in central Amsterdam, located within the Grachtengordel.
• Huis Bartolotti - The Bartolotti House is a canal house at Herengracht 170-172 in Amsterdam. Constructed around 1617 for Willem van den Heuvel tot Beichlingen, one of the wealthiest residents of Amsterdam at the time, it was funded by an inheritance from his childless uncle by marriage, Giovanni Battista Bartolotti, a merchant from Bologna.
• Melkmeisjesbrug - The Melkmeisjesbrug is a fixed bridge in Amsterdam-Center.

A bridge has existed here for centuries, as depicted on maps by Balthasar Florisz. van Berckenrode (1625), Joan Blaeu (1649), and Daniël Stalpaert (1662). The modern history of the bridge began in 1883 when a pedestrian drawbridge was replaced by a permanent bridge due to the decline in shipping. However, the passage was too narrow, leading to the renewal of the abutments and bridge in 1903 with a paraboolligger bridge featuring iron sickle girders. The bridge’s slender design complemented the street scene. The 1966 steel version retained these characteristics.

The bridge is named after the milk market once held here. Later, a catering establishment with a milkmaid sign was built. It is likely the site of the first Amsterdammertje.

• Brouwersgracht - Brouwersgracht is a canal in Amsterdam connecting the Singel with the Singelgracht. It marks the northwestern boundary of the Grachtengordel (canal belt). Between the Prinsengracht and the Singelgracht, Brouwersgracht forms the northern border of the Jordaan neighborhood.

House numbers for Lijnbaansgracht, Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Singel begin at Brouwersgracht. The Herenmarkt is located between Brouwersgracht no. 62 and no. 68, near the West-Indisch Huis (West Indies House).

In 2007, Brouwersgracht was voted the most beautiful street in Amsterdam by readers of Het Parool from 150 nominations.

• Renaissance Koepelkerk - Designed by Adriaan Dortsman (ca. 1636-1682), the church opened in 1671. Nearly destroyed in 1822, it was rebuilt in 1826. The organ, built by J Batz in 1830, was restored in 1983 by Flentrop Orgelbouw. In 1935, the Lutherans vacated the building, converting it into a concert hall. In 1975, a tunnel was constructed by the neighboring Sonesta Hotel, now the Renaissance Amsterdam Hotel, for private access. The hotel rents the church from the Lutheran church, which remains the owner. After closing for restoration in 1983, the dome caught fire in 1993, leading to another restoration.
• Centraal Station - Amsterdam Centraal was designed by Pierre Cuypers, also known for the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. While Cuypers was the principal architect, it is believed he focused mainly on the station building’s decoration, leaving the structural design to railway engineers.
• IJ - The IJ is a body of water, formerly a bay, in the Dutch province of North Holland, known as Amsterdam’s waterfront.
• EYE Film Institute Netherlands - The EYE Filmmuseum building, designed by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects, who also designed the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, features two gallery exhibition spaces, a 300-seat cinema, two 127-seat cinemas, and a fourth intimate cinema with about 67 seats.
• Amsterdam, Posthoornkerk (Onze Lieve Vrouwe Onbevlekt Ontvangen) - Designed by P.J.H. Cuypers in 1860, the Posthoornkerk replaced the hidden church De Posthoorn on the Prinsengracht, from which it took its name. Constructed in two phases, the choir, transept, crossing tower, and nave were built between 1860 and 1863, with the two-tower front completed from 1887 to 1889. Due to space constraints, the church was built extra high, with galleries above the side aisles. The exterior is neo-Gothic, while the interior is modeled after the late Romanesque Munsterkerk in Roermond.
• The Amstel - The Amstel is a river in North Holland, Netherlands, flowing from the Aarkanaal and Drecht in Nieuwveen northwards, passing Uithoorn, Amstelveen, and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, to the IJ in Amsterdam. It hosts the Liberation Day concert, Head of the River Amstel rowing match, and the Amsterdam Gay Pride boat parade annually.

The Amstel was formed around 1050 BC when a freshwater river cut into a tidal channel of the IJ, now known as Damrak and Rokin.

• Hermitage Amsterdam - Hermitage Amsterdam, a branch of the Hermitage Museum of Saint Petersburg, Russia, is located on the Amstel riverbanks in Amsterdam. Housed in the former Amstelhof, a classical style building from 1681, the museum displayed small exhibitions in the adjacent Neerlandia Building from 24 February 2004 until the main museum opened on 19 June 2009.

Currently the largest satellite of the Hermitage Museum, it spans 12,846 m2, aligning with the museum’s goal to make its collections more accessible. The exhibition area covers 2,172 m2, featuring two large exhibition halls and smaller rooms. Additional space includes lecture halls, offices, staff accommodations, and a restaurant.

• Stopera Pier - The Stopera is a building complex in Amsterdam, Netherlands, housing both the city hall and the Dutch National Opera and Ballet, the principal opera house in Amsterdam, home to the Dutch National Opera, Dutch National Ballet, and Holland Symfonia. Designed by Wilhelm Holzbauer and Cees Dam.

The name “Stopera” is derived from the protest slogan “Stop the Opera,” not a combination of “st”adhuis (Dutch: “city hall”) and “opera” as often believed. As the term “Stopera” was associated with protests against the building, the theater has never used this name in its communications.
