About
Hitre informacije: Drsijoč po očarljivih vodnih poteh, obiskovalci pogosto opazijo hišne čolne, ki nudijo prijetne in edinstvene domove, plavajoče po vodi. Ikonični ozki mostovi čez kanale ponoči čudovito zasijajo in ustvarijo čarobno vzdušje, kot iz pravljice.
Vrhunci: Več kot 100 kilometrov kanalov tvori koncentrični obroč okoli mesta, zaradi česar so mu nadeli vzdevek 'Benetke severa' in predstavlja največje ročno ustvarjeno urbano vodno omrežje na svetu. Vsak most čez te kanale ima številko in ime, na primer prikupni Magere Brug ali Skinny Bridge, po pripovedkah naj bi ga prvotno zgradili dve premožni sestri, ki sta zavrnili deliti dvignjen most.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes and a light waterproof layer, pavements can be cobbled and weather changes quickly.
- Best photo spots include Magere Brug at dusk, the Golden Bend on Herengracht, and the view of Westerkerk from Prinsengracht.
- Avoid peak cruise times around 11:00-15:00 and weekends; aim for before 10:00 or after 17:00 to escape crowds.
- Skip long tourist-only cruises if on a budget, a one-hour local boat or a self-guided walk captures most highlights.
