• Magere Brug - The charming and iconic wooden bridge of Amsterdam
• Amsterdam Canal Ring - Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, boasts over one hundred kilometers of canals, approximately 90 islands, and 1,500 bridges. The three primary canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht), excavated in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside these main canals are 1,550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht, and Jordaan, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010, enhancing Amsterdam’s reputation as the “Venice of the North.”
• Anne Frank House - The museum where Anne Frank and her family hid from the Nazis
• The Jordaan - The most popular theory regarding the origin of the name is that it derives from the French word Jardin, meaning garden: most streets and canals in the Jordaan are named after trees and flowers. Another theory is that the Prinsengracht canal was once nicknamed Jordaan (the Dutch name for the river Jordan) and that the neighborhood beyond the canal adopted this name. Our flagship canal tour will start and end here in the Jordaan.
• Prinsengracht - One of Amsterdam’s three main canals, named after the three princes of Holland.

Construction began in 1612, initiated by Mayor Frans Hendricksz. Oetgens, following a design by city carpenter Hendrick Jacobsz Staets and city surveyor Lucas Jansz Sinck.

The section between the Leidsegracht and the Amstel was developed during the city’s expansion in 1658. The area east of the Amstel was constructed during the final expansion and was named Nieuwe Prinsengracht.

The Korte Prinsengracht extends from the Prinsengracht between the Brouwersgracht and the Westerdok.

Due to financial constraints, the church fell into disrepair during the 20th century. For over twenty-five years, the building was covered because the monumental façade had become detached.
