概要

クイックファクト: Spanning 1.5 kilometers, the largest warehouse district in the world runs on 16 islands and over 4,800 wooden piles. It features a labyrinth of red-brick Gothic buildings and more than 300 warehouses, originally used for storing spices, coffee, and carpets.

見どころ: The unique waterside setting is crucial: canals flow beneath the warehouses, making boat tours the best way to explore this 19th-century storage complex. Visitors can spot cranes and tracks designed for transporting goods directly between ships and warehouses, a rare example of historic industrial logistics still visible today.
