This canal is lined by beautiful, old and some new homes. Very lovely and relaxing. More

Gracht means canal - this, and the other canals that define old Amsterdam are beautiful. They are all walkable and are a core part of the charm of this wonderful city. More

Similar to other canals. If its a nice day, put on your running shoes and run around this canal. More

There are loads of canals in Amsterdam - this is one of my top 3 - lots to see and do and plenty of places for a nice coffee and sit down. More

Together with the Prinsengracht and the Keizersgracht one of the loveliest places in the old town to walk through. , Magnificent views on the water, beautiful houses, some interesting shops too, especially in the neighbourhood of the 'Negen straatjes' district. A very peaceful & cosy atmosphere. More

I loved strolling along this canal and visiting museums as the house interiors are something to see as are the gardens in the back. More

Major thoroughfare in Amsterdam. Cobbled streets line either side. You can walk or rent a bike and go the entire length of the canal. Amsterdam is so small a city, you just walk the streets, stopping to see a historic sight or shop or grab a snack. Perfect city break More

Buildings, bars, cafes, restaurants. The canal curves between the two main shopping streets. And if you are tired you can always hop on a tram More

Seeing Amsterdam on foot and wandering these canals is a must...just watch out for the cyclsts! More
